1 Goshawk hunting; 3 sightings of a Goshawk - the last sighting the bird was going away from the RV park, at 150 feet elevation. The bird was flapping (as a Goshawk flaps). The other 2 sightings; the bird was hunting just above the residents' park model roof lines; also below the roof lines. Time period- 10:20-10:30. The winds were breezy and supposed to gust to 35 miles per hour - later in the day.

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.
