| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Barbara L. Wilson is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: Tail too long + flight too quick + direct for a Red-tail. Wings rounded - not a falcon. Young accipiter (+ many buteos) would be streaked below. Adult accipiters of other kinds would be barred below, but reddish or brown, not gravy. Marsh Hawk would fly with a more leisurely pace + have longer wings. As I saw it, identifications went clicking through my brains one after another. Red tail? No.. Marsh Hawk! - No ... Coopers Hawk! Yes - no - its gray! I certainly did not expect a Goshawk. |

| Event Remarks |
Viewing Conditions: Overcast. Bird fairly close + NNW of me when I saw it first going SSE right over me. 8x binoculars, + at its closest the bird more than filled the field of view. A brief view, but not instantaneous, about as good a look as one gets of accipiters. I've only seen one Goshawk before, in NE Iowa last fall. No field guides used. |
