Goshawk is a medium-to-large bird of prey in the Accipitridae family, commonly used in falconry. The term denotes a predatory raptor with a robust bill, powerful talons, and keen vision, historically associated with hasty, efficient hunting. In modern usage, it can refer to any goshawk or, more broadly, to hawks of the genus Accipiter. It conveys a precise, classical image of a hunter-capable raptor.”
