Field Notes
Description:
Brown Goshawks are medium-sized raptors (birds of prey). They have a brown head, slate-grey to brown upperparts with a red-brown collar across the upper nape of the neck, and finely barred underparts of red-brown with white. The rounded wings are dark brown to grey above and buff to reddish brown below with darker wingtips, and the long rounded tail is grey with dark bars. The long legs are yellow, with reddish brown feathering about the thighs. The eye is bright yellow.
Notes:
We found this Goshawk trapped in my parents side garage. It must have flown in after a rodent and then couldn't see it's way back out through the mesh. After a few quick snaps we lifted the mesh and left it be. It was gone when we came back later.
