So that's it folks for this season of Goshawks in Anacortes. 5 October 2009- I left Anacortes and headed for Texas. 1 female NG - over I-5 and 41st Street exit - Everett, Wa. The hawk was at altitude of 200 feet and was pumping, circling, and gliding. This is another example of many, that Goshawks are moving into cities and suburbs. I was passing through at 55 miles per hour. I'm Texas bound- to observe the many Goshawks there.
14 October 1:20 P.M.- Mesa Verde, Co. 1 male NG ripping through at 200 feet elevation- over the visitor center.
17 October 2 P.M. - Albuquerque (Old Town). 1 female NG, circling over and over again, with pigeons-at about 200 feet elevation.
20 October 10 A.M. Albuquerque - KOA Park- just off the I- 40. 1 mature female NG-low over head- flapping and gliding, as I was in my truck practicing harmonica. I gave chase on bike with camera. After 30 minutes, I gave up- could not relocate the hawk. In Texas, I will start another Goshawk weblog. It will also deal with my strategies, and insights and also essays on how to find , observe and identify Northern Goshawks. I hope to be able to use www. goshawksoftexas.blogspot.com.
