Ubiquitous in open areas throughout North America, these hawks are commonly seen perched on utility poles or fence posts from which they spot the small mammals and ground birds that comprise the majority of their prey.

Grandioso:::
Great photos John! Welcome to Project Noah. We are big fans of your work and are excited to have you as part of our community. I encourage the entire Project Noah community to visit your website and read your natural history book reviews. I just read your review of Anthill and am hoping to pick it up soon. I saw E.O. Wilson speak at the NY Public Library a few months ago. It was my first time seeing him in person and quite an awesome experience.
