Rough Legged Hawk?

One of our readers sent us this question today - I saw a large bird near my house in west-end Toronto today (Aug 4/10). It flew off the ground and perched on the fence of a tennis court.

It was speckled light brown on white, and had distinctively fluffy white legs.

Has anybody else seen one of these near High Park?
