About the Red-Tailed Hawk
The red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) reigns as North America's most widespread and recognizable raptor, soaring over virtually every habitat from Alaska to Panama. Named for the distinctive brick-red tail feathers that shimmer copper in sunlight, these powerful hunters combine impressive size—wingspan reaching 4.5 feet—with remarkable adaptability that allows them to thrive in deserts, grasslands, forests, and even urban environments. Their iconic scream, the "kee-eeeee-arr" cry famously used in Hollywood films whenever any bird of prey appears on screen, echoes across open country as red-tails patrol territories and communicate with mates. These patient hunters spend hours perched on utility poles, fence posts, or tree branches, using exceptional eyesight eight times sharper than human vision to spot mice, rabbits, and other prey from hundreds of feet away. Red-tails mate for life, building massive stick nests high in trees that pairs return to year after year, adding new materials until nests reach five feet across. During courtship, mated pairs perform spectacular sky dances, diving and rolling together in aerial displays that showcase their flight mastery. Beyond their hunting prowess, red-tailed hawks serve as valuable rodent control, with a single hawk consuming hundreds of mice annually. Whether you've watched them circle on rising thermals, heard their piercing cries across open fields, or simply admired their regal bearing from below, red-tailed hawks embody the raw power and grace of wild raptors—nature's perfect aerial predators.
