For newer Tweeters and those that don't remember the earlier discussion, I
thought you should know that there was an earlier discussion questioning
Nelson Briefer's Goshawk reports and there was no confirmation by other
subscribers of the identification of the Goshawks in a number of postings by
N. Briefer.

Subject: [Tweeters] Goshawk Anacortes


28 April 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; dark, threatening to rain. I
know what that bird was doing. I know where that bird was heading. The
answer is within the weather conditions. Now it is raining. I have posted on
my blog- abrupt weather changes - using abrupt weather changes to find
Goshawk nesting-roosting areas. Note; I have never found a Goshawk nest or
have seen a Goshawk nest. Nelson Briefer Ebriefer at aol.com Anacortes,
Wa.
