Goshawks

7 January 2006 11:30 am. RVR

1 female NG

The bird was soaring and flapping. EOB= 75-100 feet. OT= not recorded.

19 January 2006 12:15 pm. near Kolb Rd. and 22nd Ave.

A strong wind pushed a large accipiter into a somewhat unbalanced position (in flight)...the bird flew in front and toward the left of my vehicle. The bird was light-colored -enough to be a NG. The wings were flat, stiff, and thin, with pointed tips; features that a Cooper's Hawk can display, but not to the same degree. This bird was a possible male NG.
