[birding] Apologies to Howard

[M & R Campbell]

It's been pointed out to me that the juvenile Goshawk I found at Snag Boat Bend last Saturday was just where Howard Bruner had reported having heard a juvenile Goshawk (on 10/11).  I only vaguely remembered his post (to the mid-valley list) because what most impressed me about it was that someone might have the temerity to ID a Goshawk in such an unlikely location on the basis of a mewing call--even someone like Howard, who has spent a lot of time up in the Cascades.   So I promptly forgot almost all the information in his post, and I wasn't looking for a Goshawk when I confirmed Howard's ID.  Howard is evidently a much better birder than I am, but that is not a huge revelation to me.  If I had heard a mewing call, I would have looked around for a cat.
