Northern Goshawk (Confirmation welcomed) - Cherry Hills Village (Arapahoe)

[Jared Del Rosso]

I think I encountered a Northern Goshawk while counting for the urban Denver CBC this morning along the High Line Canal Trail in Cherry Hills Village (Arapahoe). It was one of those encounters in the field -- just good enough to make me think I got the ID right, while poor enough to undermine my confidence in the ID. Bad photos below. I'd welcome a confirmation so I can get my count stats right before sending them off to Hugh Kingery! 

 

Thanks,

OK by me.  One feature is the huge chest with tapering of the body towards the tail.

 

BTW, I had one (posted) about two years ago near Colorado Blvd and Orchard on my feeder.
