Eurasian Goshawks (Accipiter gentilis) are the largest hawks in Europe. Until recently the bird was known under the name Northern Goshawk, but since 2023 this “superspecies” was split into American Goshawk (Accipiter atricapillis) for birds found roughly in the USA, Canada and Mexico vs. Eurasian Goshawk, roughly found in Europe and Asia.
The Eurasian Goshawk is slightly larger than American Goshawk and is a fierce and powerful bird that can kill prey larger than itself.
