Accipiter striatus

Aug 29 Willow Creek, 400 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif.
- 1 bird collected from a dead branch of a Black Cottonwood Populus trichocarpa about 25 feet above the ground. I did not see it arrive but assume that it had been foraging over the adjoining Brush Bottom and walnut orchard. Goldfinches were tentatively mobbing it, that is making a good deal of noise but hovering 20 to 30 feet from it.
Summary Northwest Coast Transecta Calif - This hawk was seen at all four camps but it was encountered most frequently in the interior valley area about Willow Creek. It was very scarce at Red Mtn and seen moderately, frequently but not regularly at both Big Lagoon and French Camp.
