Editing Hawk (section)

=== ''Accipiterine'' group ===

Accipitrine hawks generally hunt other birds as their primary prey and thus are sometimes called "hen-hawks". Similarly, they are sometimes called "wood-hawks" because of their [[woodland]] [[habitat]]. Though they are also known as "true hawks" With most being called "sparrowhawks" or "goshawks" with the both being named such because of them hunting small birds (like sparrow) and large water-fowl (like goose) respectively

The [[subfamily]] [[Accipitrinae]] contains the genus ''[[Accipiter]]'' as well as the [[genus|genera]] ''[[Micronisus]]'' (Gabar goshawk), ''[[Urotriorchis]]'' (long-tailed hawk), and ''[[Megatriorchis]]'' (Doria's goshawk). ''[[Melierax]]'' (chanting goshawk) may be included in the subfamily or given a subfamily of its own.

''[[Erythrotriorchis]]'' (red- and chestnut-shouldered goshawk) is traditionally included in Accipitridae, but is possibly a convergent genus from an unrelated group (see [[Red goshawk#Taxonomy|red goshawk taxonomy]]).
