nothing lasts with barn owls last week I was seeing it every night this week no show so I am sure its moved on

The American Goshawk is a species of raptor. The American Goshawk was previously considered conspecific with the Eurasian Goshawk, but was assigned to a separate species in 2023 based on differences in morphology, vocalizations, and genetic divergence. It is mainly resident, but birds from colder regions migrate south for the winter. In North America, migratory Goshawks are often seen migrating south along mountain ridge tops at nearly any time of the fall depending on latitude.

In North America, they are most broadly found in the western United States, including Alaska, and western Canada. Their breeding range in the western contiguous United States largely consists of the wooded foothills of the Rocky Mountains and many other large mountain ranges from Washington to southern California extending east to central Colorado and westernmost Texas.

Going for a walk on a windy day! Taken on the Pintail Drive along the Creole Trail south of Lake Charles in Louisiana.

I've been stalking this hawk and he has been stalking my bird feeder. They are known to hang out in residential neighborhoods and specialize in capturing other birds as prey. I first spotted this day flying along side a red shouldered hawk.

Coyote Hills Regional Park, Fremont CA

Eventually the little bird took cover in the trees and managed to elude the eagle.
