2 goshawks

2 Goshawks! So why is it - I am not observing that male NG I saw with pigeons on that foggy day? It was weeks ago and we saw many rainy, foggy days- and that is the answer- poor weather conditions.
Now it is cold with temps in the middle 30's with 5 miles per hour wind- but it was also clear- with bright sun. Goshawks love the wind, sun, clouds , and thermals. Far off was a male Goshawk, soaring and flapping, over and over again. The hawk was at 500 feet elevation. The reason why it was male - because of the speed and agility of the accipiter. 10 minutes later a female goshawk was slowly soaring, closer to my position, at about 500 feet elevation. Also, was observed a mature Red -shouldered Hawk, a female Merlin perched, a mature male Osprey, Turkey and Black Vultures, a Red-tailed Hawk, a Crested Caracara.
Also- same day, same location: 1 female goshawk soaring at about 500 feet elevation, with a Black Vulture and a T.V. Observation time about 10 minutes, as this hawk went from my front to my left, far away.
