Last northern goshawk in MD gone

[Big Bad Wulff]

I'd be highly surprised it was the last one(I've done bird counts in Maryland many times and we always find species that "do not exist there" ). I have learned to distrust environmentalists and anything they say from extensive experience. I will be in Garrett Co this weekend and will look for others. Just be glad those in Garrett County look after the "environment", as those in Baltimore County ruined there's a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time ago. It always seems those that live in cities want to blame those that live in the country for being "backward", yet those in the country still live................IN THE COUNTRY!
Sorry. This hits a sore nerve with me. I dislike and distrust everything the "environmental movement" has become.

If it is the last, that is certainly a shame. As stated above, I have done many bird counts in Md(my mother was a fairly well-known ornithologist in Western Md) and I grew up watching and banding birds, etc.I have met and banded birds with Chandler Robbins(look at your bird book). But, that does not make me a zealot. I have seen the horrible things done by environmentalists and to me it is a LOT worse than shooting one bird.
