[cobirds] Northern Goshawk - Frederick, Weld Cty.

Hello Cobirders-
 
After yesterday's snow there has been above average activity around my backyard feeder this morning.  I realized why the birds suddenly vanished when I saw an Accipiter on my back fence.  I noticed immediately how large the bird was compared to the Sharpies that I usually see in the neighborhood, and at first thought Coop but after looking at the photos, I believe he's a Northern Goshawk.  A link to the photos is included below.
 
Best regards and good birding!
