Description

We had seen some Red Tailed Hawks near our area. I happened to look out and one was at our bird bath preening. She flew away before I could capture her, so I walked around and waited. I heard their cry and looked up and got this capture. I digitally added more detail to her so she would show up better in this image. The sky was incredible that day so I wanted her to show up against it.

Red-tailed Hawks are legally protected in Canada, Mexico and the United State by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Because they are so common and easily trained as capable hunters, the majority of hawks captured for falconry in the United States are Red-tails. Falconers are permitted to take only passage hawks (which have left the nest, are on their own, but are less than a year old) so as to not affect the breeding population. Adults, which may be breeding or rearing chicks, may not be taken for falconry purposes and it is illegal to do so. Passage red-tailed hawks are also preferred by falconers because these younger birds have not yet developed adult behaviors, which can make training substantially more challenging.
