Goshawk

25 October 2007 - 4:35 PM.; RVP
1 Goshawk; the bird was cutting around me. The bird was F and G, at elevation of about 50 feet; then went flapping and gliding just over the desert scrub. OT- about 30 seconds. The wing beats were too deep to be a Cooper's. Also the wings were too big and the base of the wings too wide to be a Cooper's. Then 1 minute later, same location, but one half mile away - probably the same bird as seen before = 1 female Goshawk; F, S, circling; near Wilmont Road. EOB- 200-250 feet; OT- about 5 minutes.
