Abstract

The present study documented the characteristics of habitats and nests of Goshawk [Northern goshawk] Accipiter gentilis breeding in Gongju-si, Chungcheongnam-do and Haepyung, Kyungsangbuk-do, Eumsung-gun, Chungju-si, Chungcheongbuk-do from April 2007 to August 2011. Breeding habitat includes of mixes and deciduous trees and ravine forest, ranging from small to large areas and it used make a new nest and fix up the old nest at Goshawk. Goshawk make nests on Japanese larch Larix leptolepis, Japanese red pine Pinus densiflora and Pitch pine Pinus rigidae of $15.8{\pm}2.36m$ (range=7.4~18.7m) in height and $34.6{\pm}7.38cm$ (range=20.8~47.4cm) in diameter-at-breast height (DBH). It has $135.8{\pm}3.37cm$ in outer diameter of nest, $26.2{\pm}2.39cm$ in inner diameter, $7.1{\pm}1.41cm$ of depth, and $3.1{\pm}0.40Kg$ of weight. Breeding habitat (n=13) has 5~7 nests. It has 7 (53.8%) nest in fix up the old nest and 4 (30.8%)nests in make a new nest.
