New Neighbors
So we have new neighbors; there's a small public park just behind our backyard, and recently this beautiful bird and its mate appear to have moved in:

I've seen it perched in several of the very tall trees in the park, as well as on the roofs of our houses, fences, etc. I'm still looking for the nest. It's been around for several weeks, so I'm guessing it's setting up for an extended stay. Anyone know what kind of bird this is?
