7 May 2008 2:15 PM. Pioneer Trails RV Park - Anacortes
1 Goshawk; probably male; Gliding; Elevation of bird about 300 feet.
Observation time 10 seconds. ALSO: I had the idea the bird was travelling behind my
position - so I waited in a much more open position. At 3:45 PM. a male
Goshawk rapidly approached to overhead. The bird had a square-tip tail. This bird
was filled with energy; moving rapidly in tight circles, flapping, gliding,
and drifting. Observation time- 1 minute; elevation of bird 300-400 feet. And
this is mainly for my detractors: come June and July my sightings of Goshawks
will taper off - sharply. Can you figure out why? Good birding - Nelson
