Another male Goshawk

7 May 2008 2:15 Pioneer Trails RV Park
1 Goshawk; probably male; gliding; EOB= 300 feet; OT-10 seconds. ALSO: I had the idea the bird was traveling behind my position - so I waited in a much more open position. At 3:45 PM. a male Goshawk rapidly approached overhead. The bird had a square-tip tail. This bird was very energetic, moving rapidly in tight circles, flapping, gliding, and drifting. OT=1minute. EOB= 300-400 feet. This bird was short-winged, and did not have a missing primary - therefore, there are 2 male Goshawks hunting in my area! AND this is mainly for my detractors: come June and July my sightings of NG will taper off - sharply. Can you figure out why?
