This secretive resident of Canada’s boreal forest is an impressive flyer and a short-duration sit-and-wait hunter – it will scan its surroundings for signs of a grouse, rabbit or squirrel before moving on to the nextperch. With just a few stiff beats of its powerful wings, it silently soars above the fir trees; and with a sudden burst of speed, it weaves and crashes through the woodland canopy in pursuit of its meal.

A prized falconry bird, the goshawk is one of 19 raptor species found in Canada, where its range stretches from east to west and up to the northern treeline. This grey-coloured bird is slightly bigger than a crow, and it is the largest of the three North American accipiters – fast-flying hawks that are distinguished by rounded wings and a rudder-like tail.

Sightings are infrequent since the goshawk likes to nest and hunt in remote areas. But if you hear its ki-ki-ki-ki call, be sure to heed the warning, because this powerful predator is fearless in its defence of its nest. It is known to swoop down, talons first, to chase away anything – or anyone – that dares intrude upon its territory.

Customer Reviews

"Amazing service and hospitality from the staff at IDC! Jason was so attentive and patient in our search for our ideal watches. He took us through several options, had us try every watch we were interested in, took our information and continued searching for options. A few hours later, we had our watches on hold and ready for pick up! He located a watch that I LOVE, and a unique piece for my husband. We are grateful to have found our new Jeweler for many pieces to come!"
