There was a report on a birding listserve of a birder in the Okanogan. A raptor was circling behind and over trees. Then the bird went away, then the bird was observed again. Finally the hawk went to perch; and finally the hawk was identified as a NG.
The birder was very happy. I am happy for the birder. It was years ago that I bumped into Patric Sullivan in the field for the first and only time. We exchanged a sentence or three. I asked Patric about his GOSHAWK license plate. Patric informed me— the Okanogan has many goshawks.
What would be the outcome if that hawk did not go to perch? Then you would have — You’ve seen goshawks; your friends have seen goshawks; your neighbors have seen goshawks.
Birders are not hawkwatchers. Most of them never will become hawkwatchers. It is too much of another dicipline; too much of a leap of faith.
The thought— North Korea’s answer to Glen Beck!
