Male Gos - rapid flight

17 Sept. Pioneer Trails RV Park 10:00 a.m.
1 male Gos- Finally a Gos has presented. What has happened to my Goshawks- male and female. Has a falconer taken from the nest. No matter- I still should have been observing NG during the time between Aug. 8 and now: on N. North Whidbey Island , in city limits of Anacortes, and here S.E. of city limits of Anacortes.
The hawk was gliding and pumping in straight-away flight and coming from the nesting area. It was overcast and dark and it will rain. The wind was at zero miles per hour. The hawk was at elevation of 500 - 600 feet.
