Insight 1

Northern Goshawks love the wind, sun, clouds, and thermals. Cooper's don't. But Cooper's do during migration times. I.E., Goshawks have an affinity for the sky. When Cooper's Hawks settle into their nesting location or settle in on their southern wintering quarters, they loose their affinity for the sky. This is the most important insight of my 19 years of continuous field work with Goshawks. Remember insight 1.
