Description
The Red-tailed hawk is the most widespread and familiar large hawk in North America, bulky and broad-winged, designed for effortless soaring. An inhabitant of open country, it is commonly seen perched on roadside poles or sailing over fields and woods. Although adults usually can be recognized by the trademark reddish-brown tail, the rest of their plumage can be quite variable.They may be found in any kind of terrain that provides both some open ground for hunting and some high perches. Habitats may include everything from woodland with scattered clearings to open grassland or desert with a few trees or utility poles. Their conservation status is widespread and common and has increased in some areas since the 1960s; numbers are now stable or still increasing. In several regions of North America, Red-tailed Hawks are adapting to nesting in cities.
