Description
Red-Tailed Hawks are skilled hunters who put their keen eye-sight to good use. They prefer to perch high above the ground to seek out their prey and can often be seen on telephone poles and wires and in the tree tops.
The loud shrieking call of the Red-Tailed Hawk, that is often used on television to represent other types of birds, is usually done while in flight and is a sign of hunger.
In an attempt to avoid predators, the Red-Tailed Hawk builds its nest, which will be used for many years to come, high in the trees. It is made of a combination of sticks, leaves and bark.
Although the Red-Tailed Hawk was at one time becoming an endangered bird, it has made a comeback in recent years. It is still protected by the Migratory Bird Act which makes it illegal to hunt or capture these birds for any reason.
The Red Fox, Golden Eagle, Great Horned Owl and Raccoon are all predators of the Red-Tailed Hawk
