[birding] Imm. Goshawk at Adair Wildlife Area ... wearing jesses

[Joel Geier]

P.S. I forgot to mention, two female GADWALL were on the Adair municipal
sewage treatment pond. I've had trouble finding Gadwalls in the
neighborhood this year, so these were the first ones for my "motorless"
year list. Both the treatment pond and the pond in Adair Wildlife Area
had a few HOODED MERGANSERS.
