More NG

22 July 1:15 P.M.- near Fernhill Cemetery; 1 male NG circling at about 500 feet elevation. The bird had a large area of white under tail coverts.

16 August 12 P.M.- Near Skyline Marina; 1 mature NG heading over my moving truck. The hawk was at elevation of 100 feet. The hawk did not have prey, therefore was going toward Washington Park to procure prey. Cooper's Hawks are nesting in this knob of hillside; thickly wooded.

22 August 4:15 p.m. - Fernhill Cemetery- 1 mature NG circling and flapping. Observation time- 1 minute

25 August 12:30 p.m.- Downtown Anacortes; 1 immature male NG; the hawk was the size of a male NG. The bird had the proportions of a male NG. The bird was flapping as a NG can flap, with deep , flexible, and rapid wing beats. Elevation of bird about 200 feet as it circled over and over again. The wings were unfurling on the upward stroke. I will use "unfurl" more often to describe the upward movement of the wing when in active flight. NG can show 3 types of active wing beats. 2 of these active wing beat types- will show unfurling, but only one type will show true -deep unfurling.
