Then I looked up all the possibilities in the bird book and because of the red belly feathers I think he might be a red tailed hawk. It's hard to see him well in the picture because he wouldn't turn around for the camera. We're not far from you, he might be your local hawk shopping on our block.

I've seen the Hawk dining from the third floor window (carries prey up in tree) as well as on the ground plucking feathers from a catch prior to dining. Was this bird large enough to be a hawk?
