[obol] hawk ID help?

[Ann Chamberlain]

OK - I feel like a jackass, but need to ask anyhow.

Yesterday, a hawk was calling all around the property, from behind the 
chicken coop, across through the two-acre dog run, down by the barn, 
back up the hill, seemingly making a big circle around the small amount 
of open space we have.

It sounded like a Cooper's hawk but much more measured, nowhere near as 
rapid as Cooper's nor as shrill as a sharpie.  I caught a glimpse of a 
Cooper-sized gray bird as it flew down into the driveway for a moment, 
then disappeared into the trees.  Tried and tried to get a good look at 
the bird but was never successful.

The chickens were loose yesterday as well.  I do have regular Cooper's 
and sharpies around all year.

I am thinking goshawk, but would one be around here?  I may have seen 
one when I was a teenager, but certainly not since then.  Back east, 
they are pretty darned rare.  After the comments about look for the 
usual, not the unusual, with which I agree entirely, I am hesitant to 
think this might have been a goshawk. 

Thoughts?  thanks.  Ann outside Myrtle Creek
