Wow--big day here. Yesterday Watched a largish hawk land on our lampost and am 98% sure it was an American Goshawk--an adult male. . We have resident Sharp Shinned and Cooper's hawks since we have very "target rich" environment due to our bird feeders--but this bird was substantially bigger had the fine gray barring on his chest. Today it seemed a juvenile was here--white supercillium very distinctively. Possible it was an immature Cooper's but seemed subtantially bigger and had a fiercer attitude--kind of like an alpha predator. Will try to get decent picture if he comes back. Believe it to be a juvenile.
