Goshawks are back

Sept 1- 10:45 a.m.  Near Saint Mary's Church- Anacortes, WA
1 NG circling over and over again at about 200 feet elevation. this hawk was probably female since the wings were too long for a male. The sighting was naked eye.
 Actually this is a resident goshawk as they have now finished their nesting and branching functions.
Yet i have never observed a NG nest and have never observed any limbers in this area. having only observed limbers in suburbs of Williamsport , PA.
