This will be told in two parts to make it easier for the reader.
I walked into the room in U of T where we'd be playing, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the room is on a corner of the building and has floor to ceiling windows. I set my violin case on the ledge by the window and started unpacking. Suddenly, a huge flash of red went streaking by. Some kind of large predator bird had dove right by the window and swooped over to the other side of the courtyard. His wingspan was huge, and he was beautifully coloured with large red tail-feathers. There he sat, imperiously surveying everything going on below. I was flabbergasted. I pointed him out to some people, but as they hadn't seen what I had, they weren't really interesting.
Later, I noticed him sitting on another ledge closer to the building. From here I was able to see that he was some kind of large hawk, with a creamy golden head and white fluffy stomach. I pointed him out to my mom, and she was surprised at how big he was. Not many other people noticed, but I was still telling people about "my bird."

I suppose we should begin to question your sanity if no one else has seen this big red bird hmm? ;)
But on a serious note: I do not know of any big predator birds that are of the colour red in North America. Any idea what it was?
