Efficacy of northern goshawk broadcast surveys in Washington state
Article Abstract:
Research evaluating the effectiveness of the broadcast survey technique developed by P.L. Kennedy and D.W. Stahlecker has focused on active northern goshawk nests in eastern and western Washington state. It was established that the ability to detect northern goshawks at known, occupied nests was not connected with their occurrence in east side rather than west side forests. The technique developed by Kennedy and Stahlecker was very effective for detecting northern goshawks at occupied nests. The latest research tends to justify the use of broadcasts to survey for northern goshawks during the breeding season.
