[Tweeters] My goshawks

[Tom Benedict]

I’ve never seen a goshawk. I rarely read of sightings, other than yours. I’d like to see one someday and I would follow up on your reports, except that they are rather cryptic and they are never independently confirmed. As such, I can’t justify devoting much effort toward tracking them down. I’m somewhat mystified as to the purpose of your reports.

Nevertheless I will keep my eyes skyward in case one of your NOGO finds their way to the Burien, WA area.

Or, better yet, I will batch report my sighting at the end of the goshawk season. I will make it simple— will not age or sex. Will only give a general location, and will not reference the time. My goshawk season is from Sept. 30 until June 1. Did you notice that I do not give a specific time of my sightings. There is a reason. Possibly you can figure it out. The best to all of you, I don’t mean every part of you. Ha ha. Nelson Briefer- chuckles- Anacortes.
