Red Goshawk

The Red Goshawk (*Erythrotriorchis radiatus*) is Australia’s rarest bird of prey and is now listed as endangered at the national level. This large raptor is endemic to Australia and is known for its reddish-brown plumage and powerful hunting abilities. Historically found across much of northern and eastern Australia, its range has contracted significantly, and it is now mostly restricted to northern regions, including the Kimberley, Top End, Tiwi Islands, and Cape York. The Red Goshawk is a top predator in its habitat, specializing in hunting other birds.
