The Northern Goshawk are raptors and are one of our largest birds of prey. Goshawk adults have a slate-blue head, back, tail and wings with red eyes and thick white eyebrows that flare towards the back of the head. Listen to this species call here!

Each week we introduce a new bird from the Ottawa-Gatineau area through our segment on CBC Radio’s In Town and Out. Alex MacDonald, Nature Canada’s Manager of Protected Areas, shares interesting facts about the birds that live in our communities. Be sure to tune-in to “Bird Tweet of the Week” on CBC Radio One 91.5 FM on Saturday mornings from 6am to 9am and listen to past episodes on our website.

This episode aired on Saturday, February 6th, 2016.
