Red-tailed Hawk

Buteo jamaicensis

Description:

This is probably the most common hawk in North America. If you’ve got sharp eyes you’ll see several individuals on almost any long car ride, anywhere. Red-tailed Hawks soar above open fields, slowly turning circles on their broad, rounded wings

Habitat:

Orange Groves, open fields, weedy areas.

Notes:

There is a pair of these awesome hawks that nest just up the street from me. They're frequently in my yard, often driving out other Red-tailed Hawks.
