Observation details
Seen at a great distance of maybe 400 yards. Determined as an accipiter due to stiff and rapid wing beats. Appeared quite large, so I got camera on it (see pic) . Wings quite muscular in appearance, tapering toward wing tips. Wings straight and not bent forward as may be on Cooper's Hawk. When I first saw this bird my impression was a harrier, but there were no white rump patches or other contrasting marks topside. It was brownish in color, so likely an immature bird. The flight was steady, not bouyant like the lighter accipiters. Hendrick Herlyn, Dave Bailey and Don Berg expressed ID looking more like a Goshawk as well. I saw a Cooper's Hawk about 30 minutes later soaring with a TV and the size difference was easily notiable.
