Goshawks are awesome. Great picture!
Always loved watching raptors.
We only have Goshawks as winter visitors in S. Az. Coopers and Sharp Shinned are residents.
Accipiters are not your regular hawk. Very aggressive as stated already. Falconers that work with goshawks on rabbits have reported that the bird will go into heavy brush on foot to get the rabbit! Some of these accipiters are so aggressive they sometimes go for the falconer's face, not a falconer's starter bird like a redtail.
Az has a unique bird, the Harris Hawk which is a parabuteo the only one of its kind. They also hunt cooperatively with up to 7 or so birds.(last year's offspring plus parents)
