Yesterday on a hike in the mountains, I flushed a Goshawk off a kill site. Upon investigation, the prey was a cottontail rabbit, and was a fresh-kill. I normally think of Accipiters as bird hunters, but goes to show they take a variety of prey. We left the site for two hours and returned, but no bird on it. Evidently he had had his fill.
