Indication of "pointed' wings and very long tail appearing slightly wedged here
Detalhes da observação
Noted initially rising just over treetops west of the farm fields as viewed from the highway pulloff near the Ericksen Barn. Although immediately obvious as a large accipiter due to a longish tail, the broad wings and size gave it almost a buteo-like feel as well. We initially viewed with binoculars, but we were able to study it through scopes as it continued to rise, circle, and slowly head northwesterly. Before noting what we consider the final key identifying feature of this juvenile Gos, there were a few other things other than the perceived large size that set it off from an immature female Cooper's Hawk. The wings were quite broad and tapered toward the tips. The tail was exceptionally long but also noticeably broad and seemed wedge shaped as well in some of the circling. The wings were held horizontally with a slight droop at the tips. Finally, the feature that nicely sealed it for us was a quite obvious light upper wing bar visible on a number of the turns. This was a narrow whitish line formed along the edge of the upper wing coverts
