I just came home after a fruitless search for the Iceland gull, glanced out the kitchen window, and perched in the middle of the backyard near the feeders, bigger than a whing-ding, was an adult N. GOSHAWK. Probably a female, judging by size, grayish breast with many horizontal stripes, and a bright white supercilium. Red eye. It flew off.Alas, not a new Yard bird, as I saw one here several years ago. Steve FastBrooktondale --
