About 4:30 today I was driving east on MN9 about 0.5 mi west of US71 and had a larger raptor fly across the road from north to south a couple hundred yards in front of me. From the overall shape and long tail I thought it had to be a Northern Goshawk. Once I got stopped and got binoculars on it I was able to see a uniformly dark back and tail, slightly darker primaries and no white on rump. The wings were shorter and broader than a Northern Harrier. I was not able to get a good look at the head due to the angle away from me that the bird was flying. ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
