Thank you David. The same photo is in the Eastern region field guide and if
I'm not mistaken the same field guides are also using either my adult Northern
Goshawk photo http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/accipitridae/nogo00.html or
my Merlin photo http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/falconidae/merl00.html.
All three of these photos have been used in a few field guides.
