All 3 accipiters including a juv. N. Goshawk seen for 45 - 60 seconds @

Red-shouldered Hawks that were in the air most of time. Narrow wings, long  
tail with 
zig-zag bands, heavily streaked belly and breast. Bird was moving in a  
northerly 
direction as were most raptors seen except the local  Red-shoulders.
