Description
To me the Northern Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) is a bird of the boreal forests, the taiga, sometimes to be seen, especially in winter, further south in much of temperate North America. In fact it has an enormous Holarctic range, from Alaska to Newfoundland south well into western Mexico and from Spain, even the northwestern tip of Africa, north to the northern end of the Norse countries, and the U.K., east all the way to the Bering Sea, Korea and Japan with a disjunct population in the mountainous region of south-central Asia, with those birds wintering along China’s south coast. There are about ten or eleven subspecies – geographic variations – recognized, and have here painted the one found in most of North America, A. g. atricapillus, an adult male, from Ontario. The painting was used on two different covers of journals, and is 30 X 40 inches in oils on compressed hardboard. $2000.00 sold.
