Red Goshawk

The Red Goshawk used to be regarded as a very large member of the goshawk subfamily, Accipitridae, but it is now believed that the resemblance to these other birds is convergent. Experts now group the Red Goshawk with the superficially dissimilar Black-breasted Buzzard and Square-tailed Kite as one of the Australasian old endemic raptors. It is believed that the ancestors of these birds, possibly together with a handful of species from South-east Asia and Africa, occupied Gondwana and over the millennia have diverged into their current forms.

The Red Goshawk is classified as Vulnerable (VU), considered to be facing a high risk of extinction in the wild.

The red goshawk is threatened by deforestation, illegal shooting, egg-collection and the use of agricultural chemicals (3) (6), with the total population estimated to be fewer than 1000 individuals (4). Populations in New South Wales and southern Queensland have declined drastically as habitat has been cleared for urban development, agriculture and forestry, reducing the availability of both nesting trees and prey (6). The fragmentation of forest habitat also exposes red goshawk nests, making them more vulnerable to storm damage (7). More

The Red Goshawk is one of the world's rarest birds of prey. This bird occupies a range of habitats in northern and eastern Australia, including coastal and subcoastal tall open forests and woodlands. However, within these habitats Red Goshawks are sparsely distributed. Habitats required by Red Goshawks for breeding are very specific. They will only nest in trees taller than 20 m, and these must be within 1 km of water. More
