Goshawk Anacortes

28 April 2008 1:45 PM. Pioneer Trails RV Park
1 Goshawk; the bird was flapping (as a Goshawk flaps) and gliding. The bird had a square-tip tail. The bird was probably male, because of its size and the previous male sighting (same location) had a square-tip tail. Elevation of bird about 200 feet. Observation time 15 seconds. Overcast; very dark; threatening to rain. I know where that bird was going. I know what that bird was doing. The answer is within the weather conditions. Now it is raining. I will post on my blog - abrupt weather changes - using abrupt weather changes to find where Northern Goshawks are nesting and/or roosting. This information is also a way to eliminate areas that you think might contain Northern Goshawks. Please note: I have never found a Goshawk Nest; I have never seen a Goshawk nest.
