Observation details

Enormous accipiter flew from the woods south of where wildlife drive ends at Golden Hill and across the field into the woods beyond Wallace. Seemed the size of a red-tailed hawk and bulky in the middle. Managed just a few photos and didn’t have a moment to reset my camera so backlit and overexposed. Welcome thoughts on whether this is a Gos.
