Northern Goshawk Sighting





"I was fortunate to see it again this morning (mile marker 35).  It took flight over 131 in front of me and flew toward WMU's business and technology park.  It made my morning!"  Sharon P. 

A Northern Goshawk has been seen as recently as 01-21-10 long US-131 just north of I-94.

The goshawk is on the “concern” lists of several resource agencies, including the Michigan Department of Natural Resources’ (where it is designated Special Concern), the U. S. Forest Service’s Eastern Region Sensitive Species List, and the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service's List of Nongame Migratory Birds of Management Concern.
