Dan, et al. - A technicality, perhaps ... I recall from a David Brinker (MD DNR) program a number of years ago, that Goshawks do not actually "migrate" south, rather it's just a dispersal. According to the AOU Checklist, they mostly winter in their breeding range but do disburse, irregularly, south of the breeding range as far as southern California, east-central Texas, the northern Gulf states, and west-central Florida.
