Colorful Red Tailed Hawks are Very Adaptive and Can Live Almost Anywhere

Poised to Go The most common raptor in North America also happens to be a bird that I am extremely fond of. That bird is the red tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) sometimes also simply known as the red tail or in some circles as a “chicken hawk” despite the fact that it rarely preys on adult chickens. They are also one of the largest birds of the Buteo genus in North America and can have a highly…
