Also a raptor here I had a real quick look at that spooked the ducks as it flew by really fast . Not a Redtailed too big for a Coopers . I did not think it was a Harrier . I was thinking it could have been a Goshawk it will have to stay a mystery though as I never saw it again . Too bad as that would be a lifer .
Happy Birding
