Red-tailed Hawk
b'
This is Episode 79. It's all about the Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis).
This is one of North America\\u2019s most common raptors. We find these birds from sea to shining sea across the continent.
The Redtail is a generalist predator. It can eat many kinds of prey and thrive in a broad range of habitats. Besides seeing these birds along the highway, you\\u2019re likely to spot a Red-tailed Hawk circling in the sky over a field, soaring or flapping slowly.
In this episode, I cover the key traits of the Red-tailed Hawk, it's diet, and its breeding behaviors.
