Über uns
Meyer's Goshawk (<em>Accipiter meyerianus</em>) is a member of the family Accipitridae (Hawks, Eagles & Kites), a medium-sized accipiter found in forested regions of the Pacific. It inhabits forest environments, likely favoring dense lowland and hill forests where it can pursue avian prey through the canopy. Detailed plumage and behavioral descriptions of this species are limited in the available literature, reflecting its status as one of the lesser-studied accipiters within its range. Geographic range data are not fully documented here, though the species is known from island archipelagos in the southwestern Pacific. Diet information is not recorded in the available data; like other members of its genus, it likely takes birds and small vertebrates. Limited nesting information is available for this species, though clutch size is recorded as 3 eggs. Song and call descriptions are not documented in the available data. Meyer's Goshawk is currently assessed as Least Concern, suggesting its population remains broadly stable despite the limited documentation of its ecology.
