As I walked back in the dry gulch in pinyon-juniper habitat, I spotted a juvenile Northern Goshawk perched in a deciduous tree on a ridge several hundred yards away. It was flushed by a bird that was harassing it and I got photos of it flying by. Though this may seem like an unusual location for this species, Andrews and Righter's *Colorado Birds* notes that this species is "seen in all types of coniferous forests" during winter and migration. That was certainly a very cool sighting that I didn't expect today. I have posted several photos on my BirdsAndNature<http://BirdsAndNature.blogspot.com>blog
