Thanks to those who sent me nest info last year in
preparation for Bill Mannan’s visit. Bill (researcher from University
of Arizona, colleague of Jerry Olsen) is about to arrive to begin his project
on goshawks and sparrowhawks. I would be grateful for any information on individual
nesting territories of these species around Canberra. If you suspect a
nest location from the behaviour we will check it out. Nests are often on
the root stem of a mistletoe. This season’s nest might be the same
as last year’s, or it might be located nearby. Pairs will re-appear
in territories this month or early September. Don’t be deterred
from reporting if you are not sure of the species. Geoffrey
