Have you heard this sound? Then you have Red-shouldered Hawks in your area. Red-shouldered Hawks are the most vocal species that comes through our hospital, with the majority of individuals vocalizing like this whenever they are handled or checked in on. Right now, we have 10 Red-shouldered hawks in care in our hospital. You can imagine how loud it gets at treatment time. | World Bird Sanctuary

Red-tailed Hawks in North American do between 60% - 80% of their hunting from an elevated perch. They visually search the terrain below for prey. We love this video from Mick Thompson that really captures the moment! [Image Description: A Red-tailed Hawk perches on a tree branch, its eyes darting back and forth as it looks at the ground below. Then the bird takes off. We then see another angle of the bird as it takes off in slow motion.] | Bird Alliance of Oregon
