A bird of the order Accipitridae (Accipitridae). Widely distributed in Eurasia and North America, it prefers forest edges and shallow woods. Those in the north migrate short distances. It lives alone in winter, but both males and females return to the area of the previous year's nest in spring to mate again. In Japan, it breeds from central Honshu northward. It was a common breeding species in the UK, but hunters became hostile towards it because it captures game birds and animals, and its population has declined dramatically. Total length 48-62 cm. Females are slightly larger. Its plumage is dark brown on the back and white on the underside with fine brown stripes. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
タカ目タカ科の鳥(イラスト)。ユーラシア大陸と北アメリカに広く分布し,林縁や浅い林に好んですむ。北方のものは,短距離の渡りをする。冬は単独で暮らしているが,雌雄とも春には前年の巣付近に戻り再びつがいとなる。日本では本州中部以北で繁殖する。イギリスでは,ふつうに繁殖していたが,狩猟鳥獣を捕獲するのでハンターに敵視されて激減した。全長48~62cm。雌のほうがひと回り大きい。羽色は,背面が暗褐色,腹面は白く細かい褐色の横斑がある。
