Hello, Tweeters! My husband and I scoured Dry Slough, Moore, and Poulson roads on Fir Island this afternoon from about 1 pm to about 3 pm but were never able to turn any of the raptors into a Northern Goshawk. We did find a group of Tundra Swans, as well as many Trumpeters, and a dark morph Red-tailed Hawk (always so handsome).

We then headed north up to the east 90, where we enjoyed golden late afternoon light and watched Short-eared Owls hunting. A special treat was seeing a dark morph Rough-legged Hawk along with two light morphs.

Happy New Year,
