Another Common Northern Goshawk

25 November 4: 15 P.M. VRVR
1 male Goshawk- a large accipiter lifted off over the park models. I thought the hawk may have been a Cooper's. The hawk was at about 50-75 feet elevation and went down near the lift off area- another reason I thought the hawk was a Cooper's. The hawk did not flap and I would not observe the shape of the wings. It is possible to observe 4 different Cooper's in this resort.
10 minutes later a (THE?) hawk appeared over the park models in active flight at about 80 feet elevation and circled back and went down. This hawk had very rapid, very flexible, and very deep wing beats. The hawk was a Common Northern Goshawk, male.
