Northern Goshawk

rdfs:comment

The Northern goshawk (Accipiter gentilis), is a species of medium-large bird of prey in the Accipitridae family. As a species in the Accipiter genus, the goshawk is often considered a true "hawk". It is a widespread species that inhabits the temperate parts of the Northern Hemisphere. It is the only species in the Accipiter genus found in both Eurasia and North America. With the exception of Asia, it is the only species of "goshawk" in its range and it is thus often referred to, both officially and unofficially, as simply the "goshawk". It is mainly resident, but birds from colder regions migrate south for the winter. In North America, migratory goshawks are often seen migrating south along mountain ridge tops in September and October.

n39:abstract

The Northern goshawk (Accipiter gentilis), is a species of medium-large bird of prey in the Accipitridae family. As a species in the Accipiter genus, the goshawk is often considered a true "hawk". It is a widespread species that inhabits the temperate parts of the Northern Hemisphere. It is the only species in the Accipiter genus found in both Eurasia and North America. With the exception of Asia, it is the only species of "goshawk" in its range and it is thus often referred to, both officially and unofficially, as simply the "goshawk". It is mainly resident, but birds from colder regions migrate south for the winter. In North America, migratory goshawks are often seen migrating south along mountain ridge tops in September and October. This species was first described by Linnaeus in his Systema naturae in 1758 under its current scientific name. The northern goshawk appears on the flag of the Azores. The archipelago of the Azores, Portugal, takes its name from the Portuguese language word for goshawk, (açor), because the explorers who discovered the archipelago thought the birds of prey they saw there were goshawks; later it was found that these birds were kites or common buzzards (Buteo buteo rothschildi).
