Abstract:

The American goshawk (Astur atricapillus) is listed as a sensitive species on most National Forests and has been shown to be affected by various forest management practices, especially logging and fire management. This data publication contains detailed data collected regarding lifespans, breeding lifespans, breeding attempts, number of lifetime mates, and turnover of male and female goshawks on 100+ breeding territories. Data were collected in the Kaibab Plateau in northern Arizona from 1991-2010.
