Owing to the shape of the wing, auj comparative shortness of the featliers, the Goshawk is nnable to take long flights, or to urge a lengthened and persevering chase. Moreover, although its courage is of the most determined character, it soon loses heart if often baffled by the same quariy, p.nd in such cases will turn sulky and yield the chase. When trained, the Gosliawlc is best employed at hares, rabbits, and other furred game, and in this particular sport is unrivalled. Its mode of hunting is singularly like that of the chetah, which has already been mentioned in the volume on the Mammalia. Like that animal, it is not nearly so swift as its prey, and therefore is obliged to steal upon them, and seize its victim bv a sudden and unexpected pounce. When it has once grasped its prey it is rarely found to loose its hold, even by the most violent struggles or the most furious attack. The gripe is so enormously powerful, that a Goshawk has often been observed to pounce upon a large hare, and to maintain its hold even though the animal sprang liigli into the air, and then rolled upon the ground in the vain hope of shaking off his feathered anta- gonist. Only the female bird is able to cope with so powerful a creature as a full-grown hare or rabbit, ibr the male, although more swift of wing, and therefore better • adapted for chasing birds than the female, is comparatively feeble. It never attempts to follow its quarry into cover, a" is done bv the Peregrine and jNIerlin, but if its intended prey should seek safety in some place of refuge, the Goshawk perches upon a con- venient bough and waits patiently. As the hawk is very endurant o: hunger, although sulflcieutly ra- venous when it meets with a .sujiply of fund, it " wius, lilce Fabius, by delay, " and pounces upon the unlucky quarry,
