Observation details
A juvenile Northern Goshawk! Quite large accipter, brownish overall with heavy streaking on large belly, white/very light supercilium, yellow eyes, metal band on right leg (not visible in photos, unfortunately). My camera wasn't behaving due to the cold so most photos are digiscoped with my phone. Viewed this bird from about 3-3:30pm about here (44.6763751, -93.3111364), then it flew off. I saw it once again about 5 minutes later here (44.6741544, -93.3127414) flying southwest. Vocalized briefly for me twice, but I didn't have my recorder app ready. Quite possibly the same bird found by Steve Carlson at Pond Dakota Mission Park late last year. Thank you Lord for this cool bird!
