Hello Nelson. Thanks for stopping by at http://wildfidalgo.blogspot.com. A few years back a Northern Goshawk hung out in my yard for about 2 hours during a windstorm. I guessed he found a good spot to take shelter from the wind. He perched on a stump and preened and looked around. I think he was aware I was watching him through the window, but he didn't seem to care. It was one of those truly great PNW wildlife experiences.
