The primary objective of this study is to gather the best information possible on the breeding distribution of the Northern Goshawk within the state by utilizing a citizen science approach which targets outreach at groups that spend time in remote areas and may encounter nesting goshawks (e.g. foresters and land managers, turkey hunters, birders, falconers etc). Additional objectives include checking all credible reports of nesting goshawks to ensure data accuracy, rechecking sites with nesting goshawks reported during the second atlas, conducting a review and threats analysis of potential causes of decline, and monitoring success of a sample of active goshawk nests. The project will be coordinated by a graduate student and guided by an advisory committee with representation from DCNR B
