How do you catch them????

I have seen raptor with tail stripes on tail as Mississippi Kite but more whiteish underbelly.I would guess at approx. 4 ft wing span.Small head.From a distance thought it
may be seagull.Appeared to have gray head/back.I live in Waubaushene Ontario Canada.Southern Georgian Bay.Maybe it was Osprey?I am stumped and also no expert on birds/raptors.I have seen on 3 occasions.1-two together soaring and one had something in talons(rodent?)2-solitary soaring with snake in talons 3-down low attempting to catch pigeons at my shop.Any ideas? Thank you ....Jim L.
