Ottertail county - Cty. hwy 14, 2 1/2 miles north of the intersection =
with county hwy. #1.
My husband is quite sure he spotted a Northern Goshawk yesterday =
evening. =20
Neither of us has seen one before but he recognized it as something new. =
Unfortunately, he didn't get a very long look since he was driving at =
the time. It was flying near the road quite low and slow. It was a =
"salt & pepper" color with a dark patch near it's eye. The head seemed =
large and oddly shaped. He knew it was a bird of prey. At first he =
thought it might have been an owl and it had the something of a =
grouse-look to it.
I didn't recognize it by the description but he picked it out of the =
line-up in the bird book when we got home.
It doesn't seem to be common here and it looks early in the season for =
it to be flying through the area. Any feedback out there?
Amy
