Hi All,

I had (for the first time here) a Northern Goshawk yesterday just before the rain. It was perched on a branch overlooking the wetlands behind the house for quite some time. If it wasn't a Goshawk, it was the biggest baddest Cooper's Hawk that I've ever seen. Had very noticeable supercillium, wide alert eyes, with a bill exactly like my Sibley's Juvenile Northern Goshawk, and it was huge. It was brownish, not gray like the adult. And it was very interested in the bird activity, which quickly stopped. As soon as the thunderstorm started it darted into cover and I couldn't find it again.

I'm posting this in hopes someone else may have seen it.

Elaine Coley, Loveland, off Rec. Trail halfway between Taft and Wilson (now called Cottonwood Run by powers that be)
