*** About Red-Tailed Hawks: Known for their distinctive reddish-brown tail feathers, red-tailed hawks are one of the most common hawks in North America. Adults can be identified by their rich, brown tones above and pale beneath, punctuated by a streaked belly and a characteristic dark bar between shoulder and wrist. They thrive in diverse habitats, ranging from desert to woodland and urban areas, adapting remarkably to varying environments. Often seen circling high above, these raptors use their keen vision to spot prey from great distances, predominantly feeding on small mammals, birds, and reptiles. Their piercing call is quintessentially associated with wild, open spaces, making them emblematic of the American wilderness.
