Who cares, its a pigeon and thats what hawks eat. I havent met any yet that eats salads, although idiots like you obvioulsy would prefer that. ITS NATURE!
Pigeons in general are fast. Racing pigeon isn't a sort of species, and its not domesticated. In fact, they can out-fly most birds of prey. The peregrine has to resort to a dive because it can't build the speed it needs in level flight. The goshawk is an ambusher, and it is fast in level flight.
@jroth848 thank you for your message. No, I'm not saying that you are wrong. i personally can't even tell .that's all. supercilium is a very important point. i've learned that from the falconry club in CA. talk to you soon thanks for the message again.
@maxinpains No problem. ^_^ Sorry about all the crazy posting... it was my first time doing so since they changed it all up, and there was... a bit of a learning curve! I didn't know there were falconry clubs... is everyone in them a falconer or do they allow people who are just interested in the sport/ raptors in general?

@maxinpains I'm 100% sure this is a Northern Goshawk. If you watch closely you can clearly see the classic white supercilium ("eyebrow stripe") flanked by black. Also the ventrum is covered in horizontal grey bars. None of the other accipiters (in the U.S.) have this trait at any point in their lives, making it an excellent diagnostic mark.
@maxinpains The likely reason it looks small is that it's probably a male. Like all other raptors, Northern Goshawks exhibit reversed sexual size dimorphism, meaning that females are larger than males. However, in Family Accipitridae (of which the NOGO is a member), the dimorphism is EXTREME, with males sometimes being half the size of females.
Five Goshawk attacks on pigeons and Blackbirds I´ve already seen. But even when the hunt was exciting the outcome was always the same. The victim outruns the Goshawk. But I´m still waiting for a success !!!
This type of hawk hides as well as its' cousins. it is essentially an ambush hawk but not always. It is just a style they use.
