Re: rare sightings in Sibley



Leah -

There is are four accepted records (accepted by the SC Bird Records Committee) 
for Northern Goshawk.  Because of the lack of a photograph, sound recording or 
specimen, the species is listed as Provisional I on the state list.  (The state 
list is available at http://www.carolinabirdclub.org.  Follow the links for the 
Records Committees.)  The last report of Northern Goshawk was a well-written, 
detailed report from Robert Merrick and Rick Phillips, two experienced 
hawkwatchers, from the Caesar's Head hawkwatch in October 1995.

Northern Goshawk is a species reported almost annually in the state but rarely 
documented by the reporters.  It is a "full review" species, meaning that any 
observations of the species should be documented and reported to the Records 
Committee.

Watch _The Chat_ for annual reports of the activities of the Records Committees 
of NC and SC.
