Red-tailed Hawk

Buteo jamacensis

Description:

Large hawk with brownish feathers above and light belly and a red tail.

Habitat:

Chattanooga Nature Center

Notes:

Our male Red Tailed Hawk came to CA&NC in 1995 as an adult with a broken left wing, most likely from being hit by a car. The improper healing of the wing deemed him non-releasable. He has brilliant tail feather coloration and is an excellent display bird.
