Northern Goshawk

The Northern Goshawk is the bigger, fiercer, wilder relative of the Sharp-shinned and Cooper’s Hawks that prowl suburbs and backyards. It’s an accipiter—a type of hawk with short, broad wings and a long rudderlike tail that give it superb aerial agility. These secretive birds are mostly gray with bold white bird and mammal prey, pouncing silently or crashing feet first through brush to grab quarry in crushingly strong talons. This Goshawk is searching the local area for its next prey.

The Goshawk was carved of Tupelo and painted with acrylics on a base of maple burl. The carving is 24 ½” high. It is available for purchase.
