	70:44	1997-05-31		Camden State Park	Lyon		(record #97– 49, vote 0–7). This distant soaring raptor was too far away and seen under unfavorable light conditions for the observer to see any diagnostic plumage features, and with nothing available for direct comparison the size of the bird remains uncertain. The general grayish coloration of the plumage suggests that, if a goshawk, this would be an adult far out of range and season, but it was felt the possibility if it being an adult Cooper's Hawk or even a male Northern Harrier is much more likely.
