Re: [Maine-birds] Northern Goshawk - Greenville

This species generally does not migrate.  When there's not enough prey items around they will explore nearby habitats.

Hi Clark:  He was clearly watching my tray feeder, because he was so high and strategically able to see most of the property.  I was wondering what happened to my mourning dove population - now I know.  The blue jays angrily announce him, but I'm sure he's picked off many of our red squirrel and dove population.   Same time every morning when I'm pulling up the window blinds - approx. 6:45 - 7 AM.  Then don't see him the rest of the day.  Won't he migrate - this far North? 

Thanks, Martha

Was he sitting on a perch watching your feeder birds?

For two days now, I've seen a Northern Goshawk stitting atop a dead tree on the edge of our yard.  He sat so still got a good ID with my binocs on him.  Could plainly see the white "eyebrow" above the eye.  First time I've seen one here in Greenville out by Lower Wilson Pond.
