1 mature female NG; an accipiter landed on a telephone pole; overhead was a mature female NG. This NG had red vermiculation on chest and under wing coverts. Photographs were taken and the bird was also glassed. OT- 3 minutes. After the NG departed the area the perched bird left its perch; a mature Cooper's Hawk!

1 mature female NG
29 March 2008 11 AM. RVP
1 mature female NG; EOB- 200 feet overhead; then rising to 400-500 feet. The bird never flapped. OT- 3 minutes. I am sure I have seen this bird before; same location. The bird had some dark streaking. The under tail coverts were bright white and fluffy; streaming out to the sides and also streaming over the top of the base of the tail. The under wings were very contrasty; black and white. The wing pattern was the same throughout. Winds were at 15 miles per hour.
