23 November 3:15 P.M. - near Tyler Airport. 1 male NG. Hunter's shots were fired. From this area and rapidly, ripping away from the area was a male NG, pumping over the tree tops , in silhouette. This raptor was too large to be a Sharpie. The wing structure and wing movement suggested NG, NOT Cooper's Hawk.
24 November 12:15 P.M. Near Tyler Airport. 1 NG circling over and over again, at about 700 feet elevation. The hawk was near the sun most of the time - observation time about 2-3 minutes. The hawk may have been female, because of the longish wing span. The hawk had a tail-tip that was wedge shaped and rounded. The terminal band was white and may have been thick. NO white under tail coverts were visible, so the hawk was probably immature. This is not the NG (male) that I have been observing at the Tyler Airport area!
