Possible Goshawk at the NC Zoo



Hi folks

Just to let you guys know, according to Sue Scott who works at the NC Zoo, 
some keepers at the zoo, including Ken Reininger, have identified a Goshawk 
visiting the Cypress Swamp area of the zoo for a week or more. Sue says it 
apparently coming to the area on a regular (weekly) basis and hangs out 
between the education building and the Cypress Swamp area. So if anyone wants 
to visit the zoo, please be on the lookout for this bird. One who is familiar 
with Coopers Hawks, said the bird is bigger, defininte eye stripe, and zigzag 
tail barring. Also the bird apparently flies through the trees much faster 
than a Coopers. Anyway, thought you might like to know about this. Later, 
Ricky
