Today with Gary Swanson’s Tuesday hiking group we went to Palmer Lake park. The first thing we saw there was a Northern Goshawk. It flew past us off of 73 rd st and then headed south to the south east corner of the park where it landed in a tree. I tried to get some photos and did get some distant shots of it, though I’m not posting them. Gary id’d it positively as a Northern Goshawk. We also saw at least three bald eagles, two red tailed hawks, northern cardinals, gold finches and house sparrows and a muskrat. Here are a few photos from the day https://www.flickr.com/photos/ronsthoughts/with/25126593061/ Ron Taube Coon Rapids
