Commonality of NG
20 October 2008 Prescott, AZ
On our trip to Jerome and Sedona
1 Goshawk in city limits of Prescott at 11:30 a.m. at elevation of 300 feet.
This is an insight to the concept of NG being "readily available for observation" - not only on Coastal Bend Texas and Coastal Southern California, but also on Coastal Northern Washington, and in Tucson, Yuma, and Apache Junction.
We traveled 270 miles from Congress to Sedona and back. This is high desert country. The only raptor we saw in the sky was a NG at 300 feet elevation. No other raptors were seen in the sky! Therefor, we can say that no raptors were to be called unidentified. We did see about 5=6 perched Red-Tailed Hawks and 1 perched Kestrel.
