[CT Birds] Another hawk story, Goshawk this time

[Jim Zipp]

After hearing all the stories about cars and hawks, this one came to mind.  At lest 10 years ago Jeff Fengler stopped into The Fat Robin with a bag and told me to check it out and that he had picked it up on the side of the Parkway. I looked into it and said "wow, and adult goshawk!"  He told me to take it out.  When I pulled it from the bag I was stunned to find that even in death the dead Gos was still holding onto a Crow it had just killed!  Now that's one tough bird!!  To see a photo of that bird still holding the crow go to my goshawk page here and scroll to the bottom.
