More on my friend

For 20 years Mike has been traveling to Alaska with his truck, sometimes twice a year. I am of the opinion the Mike has observed a NG passing in front of his truck. Mike must have observed some NG’s soaring, as he was driving. However, my friend is not a birder, is not very interested in birds. But, he is my friend and my one-half mile away neighbor.

Back to you, your neighbor, your friend. With Skagit Audubon at Rasar State Park— in a very light rain, a female NG lifted out off the evergreen trees, to spiral upward. Then a few seconds later, another female NG lifted from the same area; at Iverson Spit— a male NG was displaying in the sky, as I called the hawk; at Port Susan Preserve a female NG was going toward small trees or to ground behind a berm, as I alerted Gary Bletsch to the hawk.

In Tucson, on the pickle ball court, on more than one occasion, I called out a NG in flight, as was observed by the players on the court and the players waiting their turn to get on the court.

On a whale watch boat off of the Paul Allen Estate, Lopez Island, I pointed out a female NG to the tour guide instructor.

The thought— Take pride in your work; or you will hear from your neighbors.
