In beautiful Englewood, Ohio, we awoke to 6+ inches of snow this morning.
After clearing the patio and refilling the bird feeders, we noticed that no
birds were showing up. Suspecting the two neighborhood Cooper's hawks, we
carefully scanned the nearby trees in our neighborhood. And what should we find?
Not a Cooper's hawk, but the oft misidentified juvenile northern goshawk in
a neighbor's tree. What a treat! Eyestripe, zig-zag tail bands, the whole
package. To quote the great Frank Zappa, "Ignorance is highly underrated."
Go figure.
