In April of 1999 I stayed with Noel Snyder in Portal, AZ (at Cave Creek in
the Chiricahau Mountains. He worked on the reintroduction of the
thick-billed parrot (his wife Helen works with N. Goshawks) and he says for
now, the effort is failed in part due to predation, often by the NGs. For
those of you interested, the book "The Raptors of Arizona" ed. by Richard
Blinski has illustrations and text on the raptors. Check out the Northern
Goshawk illustration, it is standing on its recent kill, a thick-billed
parrot.
