T. Richardson 1937 Western Goshawk (cont.) June 13, 1937 - 1 mi. SE East Lake, Polk Co., Oregon (cont.) Food - both ♂ and ♀ had only mammal remains, fur and crushed bones, in their gizzards. This is at variance with their reputed preference for birds - and is of special interest because the region where these birds were collected abounded in birds of all sorts. June 21, 1937 - 3 mi. W Paulina Lake, Deschutes Co., Oregon A young goshawk, noticeably brown, was seen today as it flew over and around an open, partly timbered ridge. It approached unnecessarily near me overhead - as though from curiosity. At least one mature goshawk has been seen several times in the general region - testifying to their relative abundance here as in the Casc T'k. region.
