The Northern Goshawk!! by Sophie Ann Moore:The northern Goshawk is the largest North American accipiter. The Goshawk Inhabits the forest regions of Canada and the extreme Northern United States, and extends south into the Rocky Mountains and Northern Appalachians. It hunts in typical accipitrine fashion preying on birds and mammals as large as a grouse, pheasants, ducks and snowshoe hares. It's normally nonmigratory remaining on the breeding range throughout the winter months. Most of the Goshawk adult males go south for food. The male is 21-23 1/2 inches and the female is 12-15 1/2 inches. The Goshawk is very similar to Coopers and Sharpshinned hawks. Adults are pale to dark blue-gray on the back with a blackish cheek set off sharply by white eye brows. The breast is whitish with gray to gray-black barring. The tail is broad, moderately rounded and crossed with 5-6 dark bands on the tail. Immature Goshawks have a cream to buff colored eye brow, this feature not conspicuous in immature males. The under tail covert are streaked or spotted, and the noise they make is a "CAC, CAC, CAC!" by: Sophie Ann Mooregrade 8
