Autour à tête grise

The Grey-headed Goshawk (<em>Accipiter poliocephalus</em>) is a raptor of the family Accipitridae (Hawks, Eagles & Kites), occurring in the forested islands of the southwestern Pacific. It is a forest-specialist, inhabiting lowland and montane forest environments where it is believed to hunt birds and small vertebrates through the canopy. Detailed plumage and behavioral descriptions of this species are limited in the available literature, though its common name reflects a distinctive grey head coloration that distinguishes it within its range. Geographic range data are not fully documented here. Diet information is not recorded in the available data. Nesting is recorded as platform-type (PL). Clutch size is recorded as 1 egg, suggesting a low reproductive rate typical of island-adapted raptors. Song and call descriptions are not documented in the available data. The Grey-headed Goshawk is assessed as Least Concern, indicating that despite limited data and its restricted island distribution, its population is not currently considered to face significant threats.
