Lost Creek Wildlife Area LCWA continues to be productive for waterfowl
despite much nearby hunting. And that may be why an immature N. Goshawk
made an appearance there today. The N. Goshawk made a low pass along
the east side of Duck Lane and moved to the large woodlands to the
south. Slow flapping and size are always a clue with a immature
Goshawks and this robust bird had those along with a strong whitish
eye-line, broad tail, and pale lines across upper-wing. This was one of
four raptors species at LCWA the next best being a "friendly" Merlin
capturing dragonflies with amazing ease.
Also had the first Pine Siskins in the County.
