Yesterday on a hike in the mountains, I flushed a Goshawk off
a kill site. Upon investigation, the prey was a cottontail rabbit, and was a
fresh-kill. I normally think of Accipiters as bird hunters, but goes to show
they take a variety of prey. We left the site for two hours and returned, but no
bird on it. Evidently he had had his fill.
