A possible adult Northern Goshawk was seen on the Lewisville Christmas Bird
Count on December 27 in the non-public portion of the Lewisville Lake
Environmental Learning Area by birders Lisa Cole and Diane Wetherbee. No photo
was obtained, but the bird was perched and easily observed for several moments
before it flew. The bird was definitely a large accipiter, with a light breast
showing faint gray bars, a dark black cap, and a bright white eyebrow. A third
birder reported a possible distant sighting on January 1 in the same area. As
this is a Texas Review Species, we'd like to try for better documentation of
this bird, if it is still present and can be found. If you are interested in
helping LLELA staff search for this bird, please contact LLELA Director Ken
Steigman (steigman@xxxxxxx<mailto:steigman@xxxxxxx>) to arrange for access to
the closed portion of LLELA. We would really appreciate your help!

May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most
amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. --Edward Abbey
