The Northern Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) is a bird of prey native to the northern hemisphere, including parts of North America. They likely arrived in the U.S. during the last Ice Age when glacial conditions allowed for their migration from Europe and Asia. As forests expanded following the retreat of the glaciers, Northern Goshawks established breeding populations across the northern and mountainous regions of the U.S. Today, they are found primarily in mature forests, where they thrive due to their hunting and nesting preferences.
