HABITAT

The Red-tailed Hawk is the bird of prey I see most. I notice them along the highway watching the fields for food. I notice them at parks and wetlands. I see them on road trips through other states. We have them near our house. They can be found in most open areas of North America.

FEEDING

I am always a bit leery of this hawk when they are near our house. They have been known to nab a chicken.

I noticed this one in a tree enjoying a rodent for lunch.

I always wonder what they’re screaming about, when they go screeching through the sky.
