Dove guardare

Consigli sul campo

1. Stealth and Patience. Goshawks are very secretive. Move slowly and quietly through suitable habitat. Patience is key, as they can be elusive.
2. Listen for Calls. During the breeding season (spring/early summer), listen for their distinctive 'kek-kek-kek' calls, which can indicate a nearby nest.
3. Look for Signs. Look for signs of raptor activity, such as plucking posts (where they pluck feathers from prey) or whitewash (droppings) under potential perches or nest trees.
4. Scan the Canopy. Scan the upper canopy of tall trees for perched birds, especially in the early morning or late afternoon.
5. Respect Nesting Areas. If you suspect a nest, maintain a respectful distance to avoid disturbing these sensitive birds. They can be very aggressive in defense of their young.

Migrazione

Northern populations are migratory, moving south for the winter. Southern populations are largely resident. Juveniles tend to disperse more widely than adults. Migration is often irruptive in response to prey availability.
