NG yet circling

6 March 11 A.M. VRVR
1 mature male NG circling at about 150 feet elevation. The hawk was flapping as an NG can flap, with very rapid, very flexible, and very deep wing beats. OT about 2 minutes. We departed the area with the hawk yet in circling.

Also- 2 NG females- DOUBLES! 1 P.M. Sahuarita Rd. The Green Valley Pecan Farm

30-40 pigeons were circling, lead to the conclusion that a falcon or goshawk was about. Then 10 more pigeons came into the flock, then another small flock entered the mass of pigeons. Over the pigeons at 500-600 feet elevation were 2 female NG circling and flapping. OT about 2 minutes. We departed the area with the hawks and pigeons yet circling.
