shawk(?) About ten minutes after the Red-shouldered Hawks 
passed over me, another Hawk of still greater size, apparently, 
followed them flying at about the same height in nearly the 
same direction and in a or eci s ely simil ar manner. It was 
shaped like a Cooper's Hawk and when I first noticed it at 
a distance, advancing from the eastward, I took it for a 
female of that species; but when it came overhead. I saw that 
it was much too large for a Cooper’s. Its wings looked 
short and broad, its body bulky, its tail very long. The 
general coloring of the under parts was apparently grayish. 
I think the bird must have been a female Goshawk. I did not 
once see it heat its wings hut the course it followed was 
not quite straight and just as it was passing out of sight 
it made a sudden twist to the right, followed by one to the 
left. There was little or no wind at the time.
