Northern Goshawk, Accipiter gentilis
Justin Robertson brought Kitty to the PGT this morning to fly her. Justin is a falconer and Kitty is one of his birds. Justin is working with us at the PGT this winter to help with some forestry projects.
Northern Goshawks are rarely found in Missouri. The closely related Coopers Hawk is much more common; they nested in the pines by our house this year.
