The brief visit turned out to be a half success when a Red-shouldered Hawk flew directly (close) over my head as I was looking at a small flock of Tree and White-throated Sparrows. Since I am a bit skittish with Hawk I.D. I wasn't yet satisfied that I had seen the bird so I stuck around a bit later and played a CD (loudly) with some Red-shouldered Hawk calls. It wasn't but a few minutes later that two beautiful Red-shouldered Hawks flew over the treeline. I got a several more good looks with the calls and was finally satisfied that I had seen the Red-shouldered Hawk!
Unfortunately, no Cackling Geese! Hopefully today will produce this (or another) needed species.
