[Birdnet] Cache Co. Northern Goshawk

[Craig Fosdick]

Apologies for the several day delay in posting.  On Sat., 2/9, I did a short
snowshoe trip from the Highway Sheds Winter Trailhead on US 89 in the Logan
Ranger District of the Wasatch Cache National Forest.  Not many birds, a
total of 17 individuals and 5 species to be exact, plus lots of snow.  Among
those birds, though, was a lovely adult NORTHERN GOSHAWK.  The Red Squirrels
were not nearly as pleased as I was to see the goshawk.  I think the word
"hysterical" would be an apt description for their behavior.  Other birds on
the short snowshoeing trip were 12 Mountain Chickadees, 2 Common Ravens, and
one each of Brown Creeper and Red-breasted Nuthatch.
