Where is a goshawk nest most likely to be found?

A goshawk nest is most likely to be found in a coniferous forest due to the species’ preference for dense cover, which provides both protection from predators and a suitable environment for hunting. Goshawks thrive in areas where they can easily navigate through the trees to pursue their prey, which often includes medium-sized birds and small mammals. Coniferous forests offer the necessary vertical structure and canopy density that goshawks require for nesting, as well as ample opportunities for hunting.

In contrast, other environments such as suburban woodlots, edges of woodlots near open meadows, or cliffs may not provide the same level of cover and hunting opportunities that a coniferous forest offers, making these areas less optimal for goshawk nesting.
