The branch is throwing a shadow on the upper part of that tail. I've prepared a shot for the neighbors that will show shadows on houses that might provide context.

I think I'm seeing lots of varieties of raptors but I just can't identify them at the distance they're at. Unless I can get a photograph to study after the fact, I can't catch enough detail either.
Btw, we went birding near the Minnesota River on another cold, windy day (not 4 degrees cold though). One can take a board walk out past the shore vegetation onto a largish lake that runs parallel to the river. We could see an Eagle's nest across the lake in binoculars and lots of eagles flying over the lake.
One flew quite close and we thought it might be a Golden Eagle as we had reports they were migrating through. But further research convinced us they were just juvenile Bald Eagles. As a novice birder, it's hard to remember that juvenile's can look a bit different than their parents even though they're pretty much the same size.
