After my morning post about a possible gyrfalcon on Spear street, I 
returned to the scene, in the early afternoon, in hopes of obtaining 
pictures of a gyrfalcon (this is a life bird for me.)     Imagine my 
surprise to find another raptor in the same location (across the road 
from the Miller Research Station entrance, on Spear street, SoBu.)   
This SECOND BIRD, was approximately the same size as the first, but my 
best attempt at an ID was an immature Goshawk (very different head and 
breast markings and coloration and broader tail bands).    One other 
person reported seeing a raptor at this location (offlist) and thought 
it was potentially a female cooper's - I think that is quite possible.   
I've never seen anything like this, but this second bird was sitting in 
a roost of a dozen crows, some less than a wing length away from the 
raptor and apparently in peaceful co-existence.   Apparently, the 
pigeons at this location are a raptor magnet. 

I do hope others will check out this location and report their 
sightings.   I will be back again tomorrow hoping for a gyrfalcon photo!

Good birding,

Terry
