Missing Red Goshawk.BINGO!

["Peter Madvig" <>]

Hallo Sherri,

You must have seen my message on birding.aus from a recent visit to the 
Bitter Springs area. Just to put the record strait, I was not questioning 
the absence of the bird (I am fully aware of a lot of those points you 
mention - I grew up in East Africa with lots of raptors about) - but rather 
the disconcerting reaction of one of the owners, which must have been 
triggered by some awful behaviour from some birders!! I just went in to ask 
permission - I do not believe in trespassing, and I might not have been a 
birder, but someone in trouble.......!
But, generally speaking, your notes are a good reminder to us all.
Regards,
Peter Madvig
PS. There are many birders who read birding.aus who are well educated and 
aware of your points - I'd even think the majority.
