[obol] Accipter

[bobolink06 at comcast.net]

Obolites, I observed the same large Accipiter reported by Dan Heyerly at Hayward Field Saturday. I was also struck by the amount of white in the undertail coverts and its extension over the top of the tail. This may be the same bird I reported last week near the intersection of Oak and 18th. Like Dan I always carry binos to outdoor sport events,and frequently find a birding use for them. The bird was circling the field during the playing of the national anthem, and I got some flak from my wife for not showing proper respect, but not as much as I get for birding while driving -DWB. I agree with I.D. of GOSHAWK. Bird on, Bob Bender, Eugene
