Hi all, I'm pretty confident I just saw an adult Goshawk up close feeding on the side of the road as I drove by. This was at Lower Buttermilk park starting up Sandbank road. As I came out of the curve, on the park side of the guardrail, a somewhat bulky raptor was turned sideways to me and turned its head to look at my car. Its side was sheer and uniformly light gray. The only other time I've seen a raptor that color was in a Harrier but the other features of a Harrier weren't there.
You just never know when those 'wow' moments will show up. Dave -- (copy & paste any URL below, then modify any text "_DOT_" to a period ".")
