Off Topic Thanksgiving........"Tibor"

fgs Nov 22, 2007 02:40 PM

I went out to my car last night and saw this bird sitting by my car. I'm almost positive it's Goshawk, the first one I've ever seen in the wild. Well at least I know it's not a Turkey LOL.

It's defenitly an accipiter, The branch it's sitting is around two inches in diameter.

Tibor:

I'm hoping you will be able to confirm the identity of this bird.

Thanks

Brian
