And you are correct, N Goshawk is indeed rare in TN occurring
rarely in the eastern mountains. And, in my opinion, probably
mis-IDed many of the times it is reported... which isn't a lot.

I'm sure Dean did not mean to cut out the rest of TN, in the range for
Goshawk ;o) but don't turn off your radar when birding in the rest of TN.
Some
Cooper's I'm sure are mis-IDed as Goshawks but probably many Goshawks are
overlooked in the field. They are rare but I've had an adult and an immature
Goshawk in Memphis plus another immature in Lauderdale Co, and two over the
years
at the jump fields near Clarksdale, TN.
Adults have turned up south of Memphis near Oxford MS, on two or more
occasions and just a year or so back one was, I believe, photographed in
Birmingham
AL. With the eruption now in progress of far northern birds, this may be the
year....................Also, I agree the bird in Montgomery is not a
Goshawk but it doesn't hurt to try, remember Luck and the Prepared Mind go
hand in
hand, study up.............
Good Birding !!!
