Goshawk Striking Pheasant

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: "Goshawk Striking Pheasant" from the December 1920 issue of National Geographic. The accompanying text reads: Unlike the true falcons, the short-winged Goshawk hunts ground-haunting quarry, and trusses (holds) to its victim till the latter ceases to struggle, no matter how fierce and rough the tussle may be. It kills by the vice-like squeeze of its piercing talons, instead of by the terrific blow of the half-open foot, as do the true falcons.
