Meyer Goshawk- Accipiter meyerianus
The Meyer’s Goshawk (Accipiter meyerianus) is a species of bird of prey in the Accipitridae family. It is found in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and Solomon Islands. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montanes.
Based on the IUCN, this species is in lower risk/least concern.
This species has a large range, with an estimated global extent of occurrence of 100,000–1,000,000 km2. The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is not believed to approach the thresholds for the population size criterion of the IUCN Red List (i.e., less than 10,000 mature individuals in conjunction with appropriate decline rates and subpopulation qualifiers). Global population trends have not been quantified; there is evidence of a population decline (Ferguson-Lees et al. 2001), but the species is not believed to approach the thresholds for the population decline criterion of the IUCN Red List (i.e., declining more than 30% in ten years or three generations). For these reasons, the species is evaluated as Least Concern.
I found that there are no photo avaiable in the net, so I would like to share with you how they look like:
To me, It seem that Mayer Goshawk are similar to Northern Goshawk. And based on the information that I get, actually the measurement of mayer goshawk also similar to this largest goshawk.
Based on the Raptors of the World, the measurement of Mayer goshawk is 43-53CM in their total length, 86-105CM in their wingspan and their tail measurement is 20-24CM.
Here is the ‘zoom’ /clearer photo of Meyer Goshawk.
