Here's my latest hawk, the Northern Goshawk, along with the Hivewire3D Horse and CWRW's great texture set. I'm hoping to have this set under the tree by Christmas. It is the only species in the Accipiter genus found in both Eurasia and North America. The name "goshawk" comes from the Old English words gos, meaning goose, and hafoc meaning hawk. It is pronounced as if the words are still separate, without any "sh" sound. Attila the Hun wore an image of a Northern Goshawk on his helmet. In ancient European falconry literature, goshawks were often referred to as a yeoman's bird or the "cook's bird" due to their utility as a hunting partner catching edible prey, as opposed to the peregrine falcon, also a prized falconry bird, but more associated with noblemen and less adapted to a variety of hunting techniques and prey types found in wooded areas. The Northern Goshawk has remained equal to the peregrine falcon in its stature and popularity in modern falconry. Rendered in Poser 2014 without any postwork. Models included: Multiplane Cyclorama (DAZ), Hivewire3D Horse, Ultra Textures for the HiveWire Horse Pack 2 (CWRW/Hivewire3D), SBRM Perching Places-Barbed Wire fence and "Songbird Remix Hawks of the New World" (Ken Gilliland/Hivewire3D).
