A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Buteo jamaicensis
The colors of their plumage varies in relation to the region in which they live.
They will spend the winter in southern Québec, but the red-tailed hawks that live farther up north migrate south. On average, 5 000 fly by the Tadoussac region in the fall.
These pictures were taken at a zoo. This red-tailed hawk is a captive animal. Located on the western tip of the Island of Montreal, the Ecomuseum zoo offers its visitors a unique and natural experience. It is operated by the St. Lawrence Valley Natural History Society, a not-for-profit organization with a mission that focuses on education, research and applied conservation. You will discover and get intimate glimpses into the lives of more than 115 species of live animals native to Quebec’s St. Lawrence Valley.
