Hot spot - Agua Caliente Park

20 February 2006 11:15 am. Agua Caliente Park
1 NG; Gliding and flapping, just over the tops' of trees, about 70 feet high. One photo was taken, a keeper. At the same time, a NG was overhead at 500-800 feet altitude. This bird was probably a female. Just to the west of this area were 2 Red-Tailed Hawks, soaring.

25 February 2006 11:15 am. RVP
1 female NG; High and wide, over the RV Park.
At 11:45; swooping, very low, over the RV Park: 1 NG
And 5 minutes later, high and wide (same sky location) as at 11:15: 1 female NG.
At 1:50 pm.; a quick look at 1 NG, soaring over Rt. 10 - Kolb Road.

27 February 2006 10:27 am. RVP
1 female NG; soaring. EOB= about 500 feet, and about 35 degrees off my zenith. Also, I saw an accipiter perched. It probably was a mature female Cooper's. I have many sightings of a mature female Cooper's at the RV Park.

28 February 2006 11:20 am. At Tubac.
1 female NG; This bird was S, F. The bird was short-tailed. EOB= 150-200 feet, and was about 35 degrees off my zenith. OT= 2 minutes. I walked away with the bird yet in the sky.

3 March 2006 11:55 am.; the Park Place Mall (Kolb Rd. and Broadway)
DOUBLES! 2 Ravens were circling at altitude 300-400 feet. 1 female NG entered the Ravens' space, and the NG was pushed away. A few minutes later, a second NG, was circling above the 2 Ravens and the other NG. The 2 NG moved away, out of view, and a third Raven entered the area. OT= 2-3 minutes.
