White Goshawk

Thanks Emily. Obviously I would have liked to have seen the goshawk closer, but these bird "combats' usually happen far up and end up far off. As the Grey/White goshawk usually lives near water I was unusually lucky to see one at our place. The only other times I have seen them, they were sitting in a tree on the bank of a river.

Since the ravens live here, and the goshawk was the interloper, I'd be hard pressed to name either as "good or evil", but get your analogy. I've added more photos to the wedge tail eagle versus ravens spotting. One thing you cans say about the ravens, they take on everybody.

We have the White and the Brown Goshawk in Tasmania, and a Red Goshawk in the north of Australia. I've got a shot of the Brown Goshawk that I'll post in a minute or so. As for getting these shots it was just a matter of rapidly hand focusing while holding down the shutter. Of course, that meant a lot of shots were out of focus, and some were just sky and no bird.
