I caught a brief but diagnostic view of an adult Northern Goshawk soaring low, then power diving over the northwest portion on the Loch at approximately 12:15 pm. This is in the north end of Central Park in NYC at roughly 103rd street. The bird was observed during my final NYC Audubon Birding for Families walk which limited my ability to track the bird when it was first seen. It's behavior suggested it may remain in the area, at least for today. Apologies for not getting the report out more quickly.
