| avian information | 1978-12-16 | Cass | 12/16 Cass (first winter record) Reported from Wabasha, Olmste~, Hennepin (4 reports), Hubbard (until 1-15 HF) and Cass (Walker CBC week); although this sp.ec!es is k~own to winter in the state, 1t 1s sometimes impossible to separate fr?m the mor.e likely Sharp-shinned (si.ze an~ tall shape are not always reliable); Immatures are also difficult to distinguish from the more likely imm. Northern Goshawk (which does not always have a clear eye-line); the best policy in winter i.s not to report any Cooper's unless direct comparison with other accipiters is possible. | ||||||

The brief description includes nothing about the plumage itself, with the identification based entirely on the observer's impression of its size. However, nothing was available for direct size comparison, and therefore the more likely Northern Goshawk is not ruled out. In addition, no optics were used during the observation. | Not Accepted | ||||
