NEW DELHI: In a first for Delhi, birders have recorded the presence of Northern goshawk, a medium-sized raptor often spotted in the Himalayas that migrates to the plains in winter. The bird was photographed on Saturday during the last assessment of raptors for this season at Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary.
Believed to be the “true hawk”, the bird is mostly displayed majestically in the portraits of Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh guru, thus making it the state bird of Punjab.
