Doria's Goshawk

Megatriorchis doriae

Doria's Goshawk (Megatriorchis doriae) is a large bird of prey found in the mountainous forests of New Guinea. This striking raptor is known for its distinctive plumage and powerful build. With a wingspan of around 120-150 cm, Doria's Goshawk is an apex predator, preying on a variety of small to medium-sized birds and mammals. Its sharp talons and keen eyesight make it a formidable hunter in its densely forested habitat. The species is known for its elusive nature, often remaining hidden within the dense canopy. Doria's Goshawk is an important indicator of the health of its forest habitat, and its conservation status is of concern due to ongoing habitat loss and fragmentation.
