📣 Community Post — Goshawk Watch 🧵 Goshawk Watch – Frazier Mountain / Los Padres NF 🌲 I had a great conversation with someone about American Goshawk and it got me thinking… 👀 There have been historical breeding pairs in the higher elevation forests around Mount Pinos, and this time of year they could be nesting, on eggs, or even feeding chicks depending on conditions. The wild part? 👉 They are incredibly good at staying hidden. 👉 You could be right near one and never know it. So I thought I’d ask the mountain…🌲 Have you seen or heard one? If you have, feel free to share: • General area (no exact locations 🙏) • What you noticed (size, behavior, calls) • Time of year 🪶 What to look (and listen) for: • Large, powerful hawk • Broad wings + long tail • Flies low through trees (fast, quiet, direct) • Sharp, repeated calls echoing through the forest • That feeling like… something is watching you back 👀 ⚠️ Important: These birds are very sensitive during nesting season, so please don’t share nest locations or approach if you think you’ve found one. Observing from a distance is the best way to protect them. Let’s see what the forest knows 🌲🦅 #LosPadresNF #FrazierMountain #MountPinos #BirdingCalifornia #Goshawk #WildlifeWatch #CaLandBird #MountainLife #KeepItWild #ForestFinds 🦅 Fun fact: Most people hear a goshawk before they ever see one. If you’ve heard loud, repeated hawk calls deep in the forest… it might have been one 👀
