I googled for a bit :p Looks like either a Red-Tailed Hawk, or a Coopers Hawk. More likely a Red-Tailed, IMO.

Could be that too. I presume the pic was taken up in Canada.

I do, yes :p That's why I have a hard time identifying north American hawks - I know all the Australian ones, but not the ones over there :p

wierd for birds to migrate to an Island. I bet there are some strange birds there.
edit: Stupid cliches.

Well, many of the continents were all joined together, millions of years ago (see: Gondwanaland) so they've been here the whole time, and just evolved differently to other continents' birds based on the environment around them here. Also, they can fly a long way, which helps :p Here in Brisbane, where I live, we get a lot of birds that migrate down from Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, and India depending on the season.
But yeah, there are some pretty trippy birds here. Not sure if you've seen this before - It's called a Superb Lyre Bird:
