Northern Goshawks
The number of migrating hawks has drastically declined, but rarer birds are appearing. Today there were two juvenile Northern Goshawks flying south past the hawk platform. The first one flew low just to the east of the hawk platform, while the second one flew through the hawk trapping station. A good number of Red-Tailed Hawks and a few Red-Shouldered Hawks are also being seen from the platform.
