More Goshawks

With sunshine, mild conditions and a steady breeze, I headed to the forest to see if the Goshawks were getting frisky. Sure enough they were, with lot of display seen and incessant calling. I checked out three sites, with birds seen at each, a total of about 12 individuals. The adult females were doing a lot of stiff-winged flapping, with high amplitude wingbeats and puffed out undertail coverts. Lots of Crossbills and Siskins around too.
