Explanation of text

NG= Northern Goshawk S= soaring F= flapping G= gliding OT= observation time EOB= elevation of bird RVP= Voyager RV Resort (S. Kolb Road). All of my sightings are of raptors in flight, unless specified as "perched". Please realize - elevation of the bird and observation time go hand-in-hand; one is a product of the other. OT and EOB are very important in differentiating a Cooper's Hawk from a NG (during non-migratory conditions).
