Photos - Goshawks- A. Junction

Dear Birders; and hawk-watchers ( and there is a world of difference). Any person who claims they know how to identify raptors in flight, or claims to know how to identify raptors in flight from photos: and claims that any of these photos might be of a Cooper's Hawk - then that person is a LIAR! These photos are being published for the first time.

The first of four goshawks that infiltrate my position; overpass from route 60 and Ironwood.

A good example of raptor identification under low light conditions. The sun is not above the horizon, certainly not above the mountain's ridge line. This is the 4th Goshawk to infiltrate my position; on route 60 - Ironwood overpass..
