[Tweeters] Female goshawk

[Nelson Briefer]

Yes! Some off the contributors to this service preach— Keep your eyes and
ears upward. A female NG at about 300 feet altitude at 5 pm. The large
accipiter was far away, naked eye. We observed this hawk for about 5
minutes, as it circled over and over again. The wings were very long and
flat and stiff, with oval shaped wing- tips. In active flight, the wings
were very flexible and very rapid. The tail was very long. Location — over
the Anacortes Forest. Usually the female NG, mature or immature, will not
take to the sky, until, starting Sept. 1. Cheers, Nelson Briefer—
Anacortes.
