28 April- 11:30 A.M.- Alton Daniels Field (wetlands), Anacortes:
Notice the title- this is not the same as Goshawk Doubles. 1 Goshawk at about 800- 1000 feet elevation was pumping and gliding rapidly toward Guemes Island. 10 minutes later - 10 crow were making a commotion in the trees. A male Goshawk was also interested in the fuss, as he circled about at less than 100 feet elevation. It is possible that the sightings were of the same hawk. I could not gather any information relating to the tail-tip shape or the size of the terminal band, or if there was no apparent terminal band. Was the hawk at 1000 feet a female: The distance made it too difficult to sex that hawk, well not really. If that hawk was soaring , I would have a better understanding as to the sex, since the wing length (proportions) would be more apparent.
