G'day everyone,

 

Are Goshawks a type of Hawk, or is a Hawk different from a Goshawk? A friend
forwarded this wiki link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accipitrinae to me
showing that Goshawks and Hawks are together in the Genus Accipter . 

Now I don't know anything about how the classification of birds works, so
does that mean that all birds that are in Accipter are essentially Hawks
even though it may be called a Goshawk, or Sparrowhawk etc?

 

Regards,

Mark
