[canberrabirds] Why are the C. Sparrowhawk & B.Goshawk so similar?

Rosemary,
That is an interesting sighting.  I've spotted the white form roosting near
small flocks of Sulphur-crested Cockatoos at Bardedjilidji, the goshawk at
one end of the outlier and the cockies at the other.  I have a photo as well
if anyone is interested.
