Can anyone find me a good recording of a goshawk territorial call? That would be a wonderful addition to the article.

The picture of the immature "Goshawk" from Urbanna Illinois could easily be a juvenile female Cooper's Hawk. The Cooper's Hawk is a far more common species in Illinois. This page could use information to help differentiate a Cooper's Hawk and a Goshawk. I took several pictures today of what I believe was a Goshawk- engaged in a fracas with a Sharp Shinned Hawk. But I am in Northern Georgia and it is July. The hawk seemed to lack the exceedingly long tail of a Cooper's Hawk and had the more pronounced black banding. It also seemed too big to be a Cooper's Hawk. It appeared to be comparable in size if not larger than a Red Tailed Hawk. That said- I must concede that the Accipter I saw was probably a female Cooper's Hawk- until further review of my photos by another party. I believe this same skepticism should be applied to the likely Cooper's Hawk picture on this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.217.227.14 (talk • contribs) 21:27, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I'm a central Illinois native. Not only is Northern Goshawk rare, but especially in the middle of an urban area. Plus, this appears to be a Cooper's Hawk. I've removed the photo. Natureguy1980 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 03:27, 29 November 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Redirect

Shouldn't a search of "goose hawk" or "goosehawk" redirect here? common mistake. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.72.25.210 (talk) 19:31, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Page Renaming

The IOC name for this species is Northern Goshawk, not Goshawk. We should change the page. http://www.worldbirdnames.org/n-raptors.html Natureguy1980 (talk) 03:29, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Possible Northern Goshawk Images

I witnessed what I believe is a Northern Goshawk take down a squirrel from a tree outside my home in northern Indiana (USA), which appears on the map attached to this article to be just within the range of their migratory zone for winter. I could be mistaken as I am not a bird expert by any means, but I've had others I know who claim to be more knowledgeable on the subject than myself comment they believe it to be a Goshawk. I'm offering for the public domain the photos I took a half hour later when I came back with my camera to find it still presiding over the kill, if others here agree it is a Goshawk.

I'm not sure if it is a goshawk, I don't have my NA guide book with me, but it is a cool shot whatever species it is and should find a home somewhere. Sabine's Sunbird talk 05:57, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

IT IS A YOUNG RED-TAILED HAWK....THE GOSHAWK HAVE DROP-FORMED POINTS ON THE BODY, AND CREAMY COLOUR ALLOVER, AND THE TAIL HAVE THICK BANDING, AND NOT SMALL LIKE THIS RED-TAIL............MEHRDAD PARSI

The Goshawk by T. H. White

Book about TH White's experiences in keeping and training a goshawk. Non-fiction. Very well-written, recommended good read. "...The Goshawk (1951), an account of White's attempt to train a hawk in the traditional art of falconry". 92.15.11.100 (talk) 11:17, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
