This cache is located along Martin Count’s Hawk’s Hammock Nature and Equestrian Trail System, and can be accessed via the newly created Public Access & Parking area at the end of Green Farms Road.
Since its namesake is that of Hawks, I thought I’d dedicate a series of caches to some of the most common hawks of North & South America.
The American Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) is the largest member of the accipiter family seen in North America. Similar in size to buteos, feeds on larger prey, such as grouse, ducks, rabbits and maybe even geese if given the opportunity, as well as smaller birds. The female is very protective around her nest and may attack humans if one approaches too close. It can sometimes be seen soaring quite high in the sky when in the search of prey.
T-ratings are roughly based on length of hike. There’s virtually no bushwhacking, (At least not when placed)
