Red-tailed Hawk

Habitat:

Red-tailed Hawks are very versatile in type of preferred habitat which includes scrublands, deserts, grasslands, as well as fields and pastures. This photo was taken at the Leslie Science and Nature Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan. They have takin in several raptors that each have suffered a permanent injury that makes them unable to survive in the wild, where even a seemingly small injury spells the difference between predatory dominance and certain death.

Notes:

After a storm in 2004 his nest tree blew down. He was found in a field with a broken right wing.
