Kate,


Looks like a juvenile Northern Goshawk to me. There is a very clear white supercilium (eyebrow), which is a key field mark for this species. However a few of the field marks cannot be seen in this photo and it is difficult to see size perspective, which could rule out Cooper's Hawk. Does he have more photos of this bird?


Bud A. could identify in under a second.

Tweeters;

My brother in Delaware took this picture... can you identify this bird. I was thinking Goshawk do to the only clear feature, the white supercillium above the eye??

Thanks!
