Accipiter Gentilis -- (Linnaeus, 1758) Accipiter gentilis -- (Linnaeus, 1758) ANIMALIA -- CHORDATA -- AVES -- ACCIPITRIFORMES -- ACCIPITRIDAE Common names: Northern Goshawk; Autour des palombes; Eurasian Goshawk; Goshawk European Red List Assessment European Red List Status LC -- Least Concern, (IUCN version 3.1) Assessment Information Year published: 2015 Date assessed: 2015-03-31 Assessor(s): BirdLife International Reviewer(s): Symes, A. Compiler(s): Ashpole, J., Burfield, I., Ieronymidou, C., Pople, R., Wheatley, H. & Wright, L. Assessment Rationale European regional assessment: Least Concern (LC) EU 27 regional assessment: Least Concern (LC) At both European and EU27 scales this species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence 10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). Despite the fact that the population trend appears to be decreasing, the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (30% decline over ten years or three generations). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern within both Europe and the EU27. Occurrence Countries/Territories of Occurrence Native: Albania; Andorra; Armenia; Austria; Azerbaijan; Belarus; Belgium; Bosnia and Herzegovina; Bulgaria; Croatia; Cyprus; Czech Republic; Denmark; Estonia; Finland; France; Georgia; Germany; Greece; Hungary; Ireland, Rep. of; Italy; Latvia; Liechtenstein; Lithuania; Luxembourg; Macedonia, the former Yugoslav Republic of; Moldova; Montenegro; Netherlands; Norway; Poland; Portugal; Romania; Russian Federation; Serbia; Slovakia; Slovenia; Spain; Sweden; Switzerland; Turkey; Ukraine; United Kingdom; Gibraltar (to UK) Vagrant: Canary Is. (to ES) Population The European population is estimated at 166,000-220,000 pairs, which equates to 332,000-440,000 mature individuals. The population in the EU27 is estimated at 55,800-81,200 pairs, which equates to 112,000-162,000 mature individuals. For details of national estimates, see Supplementary PDF. Trend In Europe and the EU27 the population size is estimated to be decreasing by less than 25% in 21 years (three generations). For details of national estimates, see Supplementary PDF. Habitats and Ecology The species is mainly resident, but its northernmost populations in Scandinavia and Russia migrate south between September and November, returning in March and April (Snow and Perrins 1998, Orta and Marks 2014). Soaring flight is used frequently (Snow and Perrins 1998). It is always seen singly or in pairs (Ferguson-Lees and Christie 2001). It inhabits mature woodland, preferring areas near clearings and the forest edge. Small birds and mammals make up the vast majority of its diet, with grouse, pheasants and partridges being especially important in boreal zones. Nests are built on the forks or branches of large trees and are made of sticks, lined with twigs and fresh leaves. Clutches are usually two to four (Orta and Marks 2014). Habitats & Altitude Habitat (level 1 - level 2) Importance Occurrence Artificial/Terrestrial - Urban Areas suitable breeding Artificial/Terrestrial - Urban Areas suitable non-breeding Forest - Boreal suitable breeding Forest - Temperate major breeding Grassland - Tundra suitable breeding Altitude 0-3400 m Occasional altitudinal limits Threats Significant declines in Europe in the 19th and 20th centuries are thought to have resulted from persecution and deforestation, with later declines in the 1950s and 1960s a result of poisoning from pesticides and heavy metals. Persecution continues to be a threat, as is nest robbing for falconry (Orta and Marks 2014). It is also highly vulnerable to the impacts of potential wind farm developments (Strix 2012). Threats & Impacts Threat (level 1) Threat (level 2) Impact and Stresses Agriculture & Agro-industry Timing Scope Severity Impact aquaculture plantations Ongoing Majority (50-90%) Slow, Significant Medium Impact Declines Stresses Ecosystem conversion Biological resource Hunting & trapping Timing Scope Severity Impact use terrestrial animals Ongoing Majority (50-90%) Slow, Significant Medium Impact (persecution/ Declines control) Stresses Species mortality Energy production Renewable energy Timing Scope Severity Impact & mining Ongoing Majority (50-90%) Slow, Significant Medium Impact Declines Stresses Species mortality Pollution Herbicides and Timing Scope Severity Impact pesticides Ongoing Minority (<50%) Slow, Significant Low Impact Declines Stresses Indirect ecosystem effects Conservation Conservation Actions Underway Bern Convention Appendix II. CITES Appendix II. CMS Appendix II. Subspecies A. g. arrigonii is listed on Annex I of the EU Birds Directive. The species benefits from natural and managed reafforestation, for example in Ukraine, it is expanding southwards in plantations (Orta and Marks 2014). Conservation Actions Proposed Restrictions on hunting and nest robbing should be implemented and enforced where they are lacking. Important areas of optimal habitat, consisting of farmland interspersed with mature forest should be preserved (Orta and Marks 2014). Bibliography Ferguson-Lees, J. and Christie, D.A. 2001.

    Accipiters The northern goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) and the sharp-shinned hawk (Accipiter striatus) are the Alaskan representatives of a group of hawks known as accipiters, with short, rounded wings (short in comparison with other hawks) and long tails. The third North American accipiter, the Cooper’s hawk (Accipiter cooperii) is not found in Alaska. Both native species are abundant in the state but not commonly seen, for they spend the majority of their time in wooded habitats. When they do venture out into the open, the accipiters can be recognized easily by their “several flaps and a glide” style of flight. General Description: Adult northern goshawks are bluish- gray on the back, wings, and tail, and pearly gray on the breast and underparts. The dark gray cap is accented by a light gray stripe above the red eye. Like most birds of prey, female goshawks are larger than males. A typical female is 25 inches (65 cm) long, has a wingspread of 45 inches (115 cm) and weighs 2¼ pounds (1020 g) while the average male is 19½ inches (50 cm) in length with a wingspread of 39 inches (100 cm) and weighs 2 pounds (880 g). Adult sharp-shinned hawks have gray backs, wings and tails (males tend to be bluish-gray, while females are browner) with white underparts barred heavily with brownish-orange. They also have red eyes but, unlike goshawks, have no eyestrip. A typical female weighs 6 ounces (170 g), is 13½ inches (35 cm) long with a wingspread of 25 inches (65 cm), while the average male weighs 3½ ounces (100 g), is 10 inches (25 cm) long and has a wingspread of 21 inches (55 cm).

  • 1 Northern Goshawk Forest Type Preference in the Chippewa
    Northern Goshawk Forest Type Preference in the Chippewa National Forest Travis W. Ludwig Department of Resource Analysis, Saint Mary’s University of MN, Winona, MN 55987 Keywords: Goshawk, Accipiter gentilis, GIS, forest stands, Chippewa National Forest, minimal convex polygons, quaking aspen Abstract The Chippewa National Forest has large expanses of land that are densely forested and largely uninhabited providing excellent habitat for Northern Goshawk (Accipiter gentiles). The Chippewa National Forest is currently updating its forest management plan and one of the issues is the importance of goshawk habitat. The goshawk is a listed Sensitive Species in the Eastern Region for the U.S. Forest Service. This study used a geographic information system to assess which forest types are important as goshawk habitat. Since limited knowledge exists concerning goshawk habitat, three habitat estimations (minimal convex polygons, Kernel 95% and Forage Buffer) were used to determine which forest stands occur within goshawk utilization areas. While quaking aspen plays a vital role in goshawk habitat in the Chippewa National Forest, goshawks there are opportunistic and take advantage of many other forest types. Introduction The Chippewa National Forest, hereafter called Chippewa NF, encompasses 1.6 million acres. Of this, 666,325 acres are managed by the USDA Forest Service. The forest consists of aspen, birch, pine, balsam fir, and maple species. The Chippewa NF contains approximately 1300 lakes, 900 miles of rivers and streams, and 400,000 acres of wetlands. The Chippewa NF is the largest national forest east of the Mississippi (Chippewa National Forest Website, 2002). The Chippewa NF is located in northern Minnesota between the cities of Grand Rapids to the east and Bemidji to the west (Figure 1).

  • Northern Goshawk (Accipiter Gentiles)
    Northern Goshawk (Accipiter gentiles) Paul Cotter The northern goshawk (goshawk) is a short-winged, highly maneuverable hawk of the accipiter group inhabiting boreal and mountain forests of North American, Europe, and northern Russia. Some goshawks migrate; some are resident; and others are probably nomadic, moving more in years of low prey. The breeding and winter ranges of the goshawk overlap extensively. In Southeastern Alaska (Southeast), the goshawk is a year-round resident and begins to occupy nesting stands in February and March (Iverson et al. 1996) (Fig 1). Relatively large size, a slate gray back, and a fine gray barring on underparts make the adult goshawk difficult to confuse with any other bird of prey in the Tongass National Forest. Under poor light and in the forest, however, the FIG 1. Male northern goshawk at nest in old-growth forest in southeastern Alaska.

ABSTRACT.--Weidentified 936 prey from food remains and pellets collected at 82 Northern Goshawk (Accipitergentilis) nest sitesin Washingtonfrom 1986-96. Mammals and birds constitutedhalf of the prey by frequencyand biomassthroughout Washington, although birds were more prevalent(P = 0.050) in the diet of goshawksnesting in the Olympicand Cascademountains of westernWashington (53%), than in the Cascadesof easternWashington (47%). Douglas'squirrels (Tamiasciurus douglasii), grouse (Dendragapusobscurus and Bonasaumbellus), and snowshoehares (Lepusamericanus) were jointly the most frequentlyrepresented prey on the westside (41%) and eastside (54%). Grouseand snowshoehares accountedfor the overwhelmingmajority of prey biomassin theserespective areas (76% and 80%). Relativeto other Northern Goshawkpopulations, goshawks in Washingtonappeared to prey on species from a similar number of genera,but they had a smallerfood-niche breadth and they took larger-sized birds primarily due to their high consumptionof grouse.Northern Goshawksin westernWashington took prey in more equal numbersthan thoseon the eastside.

Nests of European Sparrowhawkswere also in siteswith higher tree densitythan expected.Common Buzzardnest siteswere situatedin steeperterrain than control plots and more often had a southern aspect.For sparrowhawks,nesting in forestswith high tree densitymay be an adaptation to avoid goshawksand pine martens (Martesmartes) which are their main nest predators. For the larger species,nest-site selection may be a responseboth to nest predation risk, microclimate,foraging habitat and food supply.
