Hawks

Featured Replies

The first two shots are of a Cooper's Hawk.  Identifiable by the black streaks on it's chest.

The next three shots are of a Red Tail Hawk.  Notice the bellyband of brown and black feathers across it's belly.  The third shot was a lucky one.  I was walking in the park and just happened on this Red Tail hawk that had just picked up a dove.

The next two shots are of a Swainso
n's.  It's identifiable by the brown feathers that cover it's head and come down to the shoulders like a hood.

The next two sots are of a Northern Harrier.  Harriers are different than hawks in that they don't soar above looking for prey and then swoop down on it.  Harriers fly nape of the earth and come through the trees or over a rise and surprise it's prey.  The second shot are of the aircraft that bears it's name.  The Hawker Siddley - McDonnel Douglas AV-8 Harrier.  It's a ground support airecraft that also comes in low to surprise it's target.

The tires are worn.  The shocks are shot.  The steering is wobbly.  But the engine still runs fine.

In New Mexico, do you call Red Tailed Hawks "Chicken Hawks"?

I haven't heard around here.

Chicken Hawk is a generic term for several species of hawks including the Red Tail Hawk and Cooper's Hawk.  There is no specific chicken hawk.
