Meyer's goshawk

Meyer's goshawk (Astur meyerianus) is a bird of prey in the family Accipitridae. It is found in the Moluccas, New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago and the Solomon Islands, where it lives in subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and moist montane forest. The species was formerly placed in the genus Accipiter. It is a fairly large goshawk, with a length of 43 to 53 cm and a wingspan of 86 to 105 cm; one male and one female weighed 530 and 1,100 grams respectively, which shows how much larger the female can be. The common name commemorates Adolf Bernard Meyer (1840 to 1911), a German anthropologist and ornithologist who collected in the Dutch East Indies.
