A large accipiter, quite high; rapidly pumping, and gliding; heading toward the suburbs and business district.

Also 3 November 2005 3:30 p.m.
1 mature male Northern Goshawk (NG); approximately 50 feet overhead. The bird was in hunting mode; soaring, flapping, and gliding. The bird had a square-tipped tail, with no terminal band. A female NG was hunting at the same elevation; 100 yards away.
At 4:00 p.m., the female was going away from the business district, at an elevation of about 200 feet; pumping and gliding.
