Flash, a Northern Goshawk and Raptor-in-Residence here at the Alaska Raptor Center, working with one of her Avian Care Specialists on the glove. The name goshawk comes from the Old English word for “goose hawk,” a reference to this raptor’s habit of preying on birds. Falconers have trained goshawks for more than 2,000 years; the birds were once called “cook’s hawk” for their success at snaring meat for the pot. | Alaska Raptor Center
