  • Info: Live northern goshawk webcam at a nest in a forest in Estonia. The Northern Goshawk is a large hawk of about 55-61 cm in length, the largest of all the accipiters.
    The webcam is operated by the state forest management center, the RMK, on whose land the goshawks have nested. The birds have nested there now for 2 seasons.


More Info: The Northern Goshawk is an accipiter - a type of hawk with short, broad wings and a long rudderlike tail that gives the bird excellent agility in the air.

Goshawks hunt inside the forest or along its edge; they take their prey by putting on short bursts of amazingly fast flight, often twisting among branches and crashing through thickets in their eagerness of a successful pursuit.
