July22 - 2019 Anacortes- Saint Mary’s Church
1 female NG. The hawk came through overhead, flapping, at about100 feet altitude. Then hawk went circling, soaring and flapping and drifting, at about 150 feet altitude. Lapsed time of observation, about 2 minutes.
The hawk had a very wide terminal band, white. My other neighbor— the third one— to be shown a Goshawk in flight. I will say this again and again— You’ve seen Goshawks!
This ( for me) is a rare sighting of ( female NG) as related to the season; the nesting season. The female is usually observed after August 15. Or better yet— September 1. Also, it is rare or uncommon to observe a male NG, until after August 15. NB.
