Goshute Hawk Watch

A week ago Rod, Charley, our neighbor Paula, and I headed to the Goshute Mountains in eastern NV to experience HawkWatch International's banding station and count site (like the one I ran in the Florida Keys).  It was a great time!

Getting bundled up!

Whew!  After a long, strenuous hike, we made it to the top!

Check out that view!

The hawk counters

Whoa, cool!  A Cooper's Hawk!

Paula, about to release a COHA

Rod, releasing an adult COHA

Awesome!  I love birds!

Those are the Ruby Mountains way off in the distance
