Goshawk

Ritchey stopped by this afternoon. We were in the driveway talking when we saw a squirrel fall out of the tree. We figured it had fallen and was stunned. However, when we went over to look at it, there was a large neck wound. I spotted a large hawk on a low branch, just waiting for us to back off so he could finish his dinner. Ritchey took some great photos of the hawk while it was still in the tree. I waited until it came down to eat. Mary and I have looked through a number of bird books and we believe this is a goshawk.
