I think I may have saw this too this morning right near Trafalgar. The photo is not very good (taken while driving from highway) but you can check if it is the same one.

Could be the same bird , however, there are a number of hawks in the area. I saw an Eagle flying over the farmer's fields while driving to Ren's Pet Supply yesterday AM .
