The Eurasian goshawk is a medium-large bird of prey found across much of Eurasia. It lives in temperate forests and is known for its sharp hunting skills. Unlike many birds, it mostly stays in one place, though some move south in winter.
- It belongs to the same family as eagles and buzzards.
- Birds from colder areas migrate south during winter.
- North American goshawks are now considered a separate species.
