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.
