[Tweeters] Goshawk- female

[Nelson Briefer]

This female NG was circling, twice. While flapping on very flexible and
rapid wing beats. The hawk was at about 150 feet altitude. Observation time
about 20 seconds.  In inactive flight the wings were long and bulky. And
flat out to the sides. I’m comparing wing length to body length also wing
length to overall length of hawk. This goshawk was not the same NG that I
observed on Dec.14. That NG had wings that were either short- winged female
or long- winged male. The female of today was observed from ST. Mary’s
Church. The hawk was over the Grand View Cemetery. The sighting was at
about 2 pm. Nelson Briefer- Anacortes.
