Last month I found a Goshawk carcass under a small root system here on an island in Southeast Alaska. It had been mostly eaten away. My hunting buddy hung the carcass in the middle of the woodshed to dry. The next morning when he was trying to do his business nearby, an Ermine aggressively defended the area around the woodshed. I guess we know what ended the life of that Goshawk.

wonderful pictures! Saw one yesterday when out walking.It flew down from a nest(this time of year?!with snow and ice on the ground)and landed close to my feet!Sorry, no camera! Me the human did not seem to worry it.Due to the crazy weather we have had recently could they possibly have started breeding that early?

Thanks Dennis! An juvenile Northern Goshawk just attempted a bath in my birdbath here in Phoenix, AZ, Your pictures helped me identify it. What treasure!

Robert, great to get to see a ghost hawk from so close, wonderful animal, you are very lucky. We have these in Provence backcountry where I photograph them from my roof terrace with a 500mm, see my gallery, but they are way far up in the sky. Thanks for posting, Peter

I've been finding lots of pidgeon feathers and once a green mexican amazon parrot feathers under my front tree, and then about a week ago I looked out the front door one afternoon and there was a beautiful hawk devouring something. I continued to watch until two women walked by and frightened it. It took off rapidly with it's kill, and I guess it slipped, because it was dropped into the street. The hawk took perch on a street light and watched as I went to see what it was that he dropped. It was a very fat, freshly killed pidgeon that had a good portion of his thick neck eaten away. Anyway, i didn't want a car to flatten the pidgeon so I put it's carcass on the parekway and left it there. I looked out there about 30 minutes later and it was gone. I guess it came back and took it away to eat in peace. Now I know what happened to those pidgeons I was trying to get out of my roof eaves. I got tired of throwing rocks at them anyway. Thanks raptor?

Thanks Dennis, your pics have enabled positive ID of a parent Northern Goshawk with 2 fully fledged young frequenting our back yard in Morden, Manitoba. Interesting to watch them training for a kill with playful tree squirrels who are running around on the ground oblivious to the dangers of the overhead drama! - Dave Wilkinson

This species like all other native birds belongs to wild environment, to be free, to fly free - not live in prison to amuse some people.
