Shikra Accipiter badius Hyderabad, India .
The Accipitrinae are the subfamily of the Accipitridae often known as the "true" hawks, including all members of Accipiter genera Erythrotriorchis Megatriorchis Accipiter includes goshawks , sparrowhawks , the sharp-shinned hawk and others. They are primarily woodland birds that hunt by sudden dashes from a concealed perch, with long tails, broad wings and high visual acuity facilitating this lifestyle. In light of recent genetic research , the kites of the traditional subfamily Milvinae may also belong to this group.
Hawks, including the accipitrines, are believed to have vision several times sharper than humans , in part because of the great number of photoreceptor cells in their retinas (up to 1,000,000 per square mm, against 200,000 for humans), a very high number of nerves connecting the receptors to the brain , and an indented fovea , which magnifies the central portion of the visual field .
