White Goshawk

["Richard Dilena" <>]

Hi all,
Whilst walking around the Queens Park Golf Course (Highton, Geelong) today,
I found a White Goshawk which had died, under a Euc. maculata on one of the
fairways.  Although it showed no visable signs of injury, it was very thin
- almost emaciated.  Although sad that it had died, it was a great
opportunity to have a close look at this raptor. Opening the wings, feeling
the softness of the feathers, examining the talons, etc., etc., it was a
great experience. (I know it sounds a bit corny, but  it just seems to help
ones appreciation of all things feathered !)

Cheers,
