GOSHAWK - 1 immature, standing in shallow water at the edge of the lake
on the opposite side of a cove from me. I soon realized that it was
probably standing on its prey trying to drown it. After a few minutes it
dragged a Coot onto the shore and continued holding it there. I could
see the Coot's head struggle briefly. Then it dragged the Coot behind
some vegetation on the shoreline where the hawk was mostly hidden but
judging from the body motion that I could see I am sure it was having
dinner.
