Winter is well on the way more frost coming this week.
This Brown Goshawk has been hanging around for a while now, and at last landed in the mango tree long enough for a quick photo before taking off again.
That eye looks so fierce. It reminds me of one of my encounters. In New Mexico while looking for a Goshawk nest in its known territory I squeaked like a rabbit, not realizing I was actually right under its nest. It did not attack, but looked so fierce that I just ducked down and crept away.

I like the colouring on the Goshawk. That is certainly not something I see down this way but neither is the frost! - or not very often :-)
How Lucky to have such a visitor! Such a beautiful bird. Unfortunately we have also had the visits from the frost on the darling downs.
great capture of the Goshawk
Unlucky with the frost I imagine, but you did well to get the goshawk.
It's a very handsome bird! I see more of the frost around here. :)
thanks for the cool-down! very hot in texas right now. :) love his sharp eye!
Cool sighting and photo of the Goshawk!
good to see the goshawk visiting. The cold air is spreading about all over; glad I'm not near the snowies!
Brilliant photos, the Goshawk is hiding, what for?
FROST! Oh my goodness!

Just wonderful this moment. Amazing !
Best regards, Synnöve
He looks very focused!
Looks like winter is upon you! The goshawk is a beautiful raptor and I love your pictures.
Also enjoyed the mixed bag of birds in the earlier post ... slow internet connection, so will combine comments . Thanks for both posts.

I don't think I've spotted a Goshawk before. Nice peek.

The Goshawk is a magnificent raptor! Very nice to catch any image of one!
Hard to imagine your cool temperatures as central Florida is steamy and hot.
Take care.
nice bird, I do love that bright eye.
Also, really like the Pale-headed Rosella post.
