This afternoon (1/11) I observed an adult NORTHERN GOSHAWK flying along South Prince Road in Littleton, a little ways north of Jackass Hill Park. It flew over/through yards along the road moving north and zoomed down low in one yard, with collared-doves, robins and house finches irrupting, and then it landed in a tree in plain view near the intersection with Rowland. It perched wonderfully for a good minute and then took off through the yards going north-northwest and I did not see it again. It was an awesome, quality encounter.
-- On the raptor theme, earlier in the day two adult BALD EAGLES were tussling over the rooftops of neighborhood houses and as low as 25 feet above the ground over Jamison Way near Mineral x Jackass Hill. An odd setting....
