NG sightings- all sightings were naked eye, and all were in flight, yet not in migration, all were resident hawks. Some Cooper’s were perched and some were in flight. From 8/28/18 up to November 25-18.
9/24/18. 1 mature NG. AM- bright sun. Altitude of bird about 150-200 feet. A lot of silver and white coming off the hawk. Ripping through with very little gliding. Near Saint Mary’s Church, Anacortes (SMC).
10/22/18. 1 female NG. Noon- SMC. Altitude of hawk about 150 feet.
11/11/18. At Skagit Regional Airport. The hawk was far off, at about 150 feet altitude. Observation time about 30 seconds. It was cool with a cool breeze. The hawk was fresh.
11/15/18. 1 NG out the kitchen window. The hawk was fresh but the weather was not fresh. Elevation of bird 150 feet. Elapsed time of observation about 10 seconds. The hawk did not flap and was in straight- line flight, and very rapid. Near SMC.
My over all observation is that there was certainly very little raptor activity, even passivity, in raptor activity.
