Heading west on Searsburg rd (Co. rd. 1), turn left on Potomac rd. (past Hector grazing association and Ballard Pond) to enter the Fingerlakes National Forest. Drive South on Potomac rd about a mile or so. The parking area for the Foster Pond area is directly across from where Chicken coop rd intersects with Potomac rd (not sure if there is a road sign for chicken coop rd., but there is a sign for Foster Pond visible in the small parking area) The path from the parking area goes west, stay to the left until you reach Foster pond, then walk around to the far north west corner of the pond. There is a picnic table there, take the path to the left. The goshawk was on the west side of the trail, which is fairly open, across from a huge stand of pine trees, probably 100-200yds down the trail. (Just be careful, Potomac rd is a seasonal dirt rd with little maintenance). Good luck! http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb5352123.pdf Josh
