We spent a few hours this morning looking for birds at 5,000 ft. elevation
east of Mt. Washington. Our, off-trail, outdoor exploration began with
cold, windy, and eerily quiet conditions. We were sure that we were going
to strike out on birds. That is until we were startled by the alarm call of
a Northern Goshawk. Our first such experience in the field - I've played
the tape for Jill so many times that we both recognized it immediately. The
bad news is the range that we measured at 200 yards made it difficult to
get a good photo of this hard to come by species. The good news is once the
goshawk moved on, the area all around us came alive with birds.
As always - we look forward to your comments.
