notes on the text

Dear readers; I am not interested in what you have not seen. Example; I am not interested in knowing that you have lived on Lopez Island for 50 years, and have never seen a Goshawk there. Are you interested in knowing some of the details of my NOT winning the lottery, during my 25 years of playing the contest? Of course not. Also I am not interested in any comments, or questions relating to any of my Northern Goshawk Blog Sites. In other word, you will be wasting your time sending any message to my blog sites. If you wish to join me in the field, I will present a complete understanding of how to "find, identify, and observe Northern Goshawks". My cell - 360 420 9320. Nearly all of my field work is in Anacortes and North Whidbey Island. During winter my field work is usually in Tucson. At other times - Coastal Bend Texas, or San Diego area; both areas containing many Goshawks. A note about the text - Pioneer Trails RV Park ( my residence) just outside of city limits of Anacortes= RVP; S-F-G= soaring, flapping, and gliding. Northern Goshawk= NG; OT= observation time; EOB= elevation of bird. Observation time is not a factor when it comes to identification. In other words, identification usually is accomplished with 3-4 seconds of observation- that is with raptors in flight. And this is what nearly all my sightings of Goshawks have been; in flight.
