Tanque Verde Wash Gos

21 February 11 A.M. Tanque Verde Wash and Houghton Rd.
Goshawk Doubles! With Mel C., on our way to Agua Caliente Park, an NG probably male was flapping and circling and ripping away at about 150 feet elevation. We pulled over and with camera and binos observed a female NG over head at about 100 feet elevation. I took 1 photo and Mel another as the hawk climbed to about 600 feet elevation. This mature female had red vermiculation on chest, belly, and under wing coverts. The base of the tail was very wide, and this wideness carried throughout the length of the folded tail. The wing beats- v.d, v.r., and v.f. The wings were long and the hawk was the size of a Red-tailed Hawk. OT- 10 minutes.
