Hi Bill,

Yes but given the story and the context of her description, a Pacific Baza is hardly as likely as a Brown Goshawk. This is what I wrote to her.

Hello Jana,

From what you write, that seems like a spot on identification to me and the species does occur there. For a Collared Sparrowhawk to kill a pigeon would be unusual but for a Brown Goshawk, a pigeon would be much more in its size range of suitable prey.
