The first Northern Goshawk of the season was scooped up by Martin Muller and his team on Monday. If you are ever unsure about what species you have in hand, more often than not, you can tell it is a NOGO because of the piercing noise it makes as soon as you lay hands on it. We have a tradition at Entiat of calling Bud on the phone to let it scream at him.
Helping Martin on the ridge today were Simone, Meghan, and Blake. They ended up with a total of 10 which brings us to a season total of 123. This is slightly behind last year at this point.
