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
