22 November 4 P.M. Prudence and Broadway
1 perched Cooper's. This female Cooper's went to perch over my position. The hawk had thick, extensive streaking. But the streaking stopped at the under tail coverts. The hawk went toward the buildings, and used the structure as a shield, as Cooper's will often do. Goshawks do not act in this manner. The wing shape was Cooper's as the hawk pumped and glided over the structure. Initial impression- the hawk was a Cooper's because of the slim -look of the body. Also, the hawk appeared to be nervous or high-strung. Then doubt came as I observed the streaking- possibly this hawk is a Goshawk- but it was a Cooper's.
10 minutes later, on Broadway and Kolb- perched Doves and 30 perched pigeons. The pigeons lifted off and circled twice at 70 feet elevation, in a tight circle, and then went back to perch on same telephone wires and pole. It appeared the pigeons were active because a raptor was near-by. Off to my left flank, at about 150 feet elevation and going away was a large accipiter. The hawk was flapping and gliding, with pointed wing tips, and "S" shaped wings, and stubby wings.

At 5 P.M. behind Costco on Grant- 1 Goshawk came through rapidly at about 125 feet elevation, heading into the the large wash that contains many trees and much greenery. Was this the same Goshawk I observed at 4 P.M.? It could have been. This entire area is a Goshawk hot spot- Costco on Grant, Wal-mart on Speedway and Kolb, and Saint Joseph's Hospital near Wilmont and Broadway.
