American Goshawk
The American Goshawk is a species of raptor. The American Goshawk was previously considered conspecific with the Eurasian Goshawk, but was assigned to a separate species in 2023 based on differences in morphology, vocalizations, and genetic divergence. 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 at nearly any time of the fall depending on latitude.
In North America, they are most broadly found in the western United States, including Alaska, and western Canada. Their breeding range in the western contiguous United States largely consists of the wooded foothills of the Rocky Mountains and many other large mountain ranges from Washington to southern California extending east to central Colorado and westernmost Texas.
