The genus Accipiter is a group of birds of prey in the family Accipitridae, mostly consisting of birds known as Goshawks and Sparrowhawks.
These birds are slender with short broad rounded wings and a long tail which helps them maneuver in flight. They have long legs and long sharp talons used to kill their prey and a sharp hooked bill used in feeding. Females tend to be larger in size than males.
They often ambush their prey, capturing it after a short chase. They mainly eat small birds and mammals.
The typical flight pattern is a series of flaps followed by a short glide. They are commonly found in wooded or shrubby areas.
