Perched immature NG

My initial observation call this bird a female, because I observed the bird in flight and gliding low overhead; long wings. However, because of the negative area of the top and sides of the telephone pole - and the shape of the bird not being able to fill the negative space - this bird must be a male. This bird may appear to be a Cooper's Hawk; however, it happens to be a Goshawk.

14 March 2006 - mature NG

My second trip to UA - James Rodgers Way. This bird is not a pigeon, not a dove, and not a parrot. My position did not afford a look at the head - I did see a hint of red eye. The tail is long, and broad at the base. The tail is tapered, and the tail tip is tapered. The chest is robust.

This bird happens to be mature. From the back I referred to this bird as short tailed. From the front it is not short tailed. UA at James Rodgers way, my first visit to UA.
