November Raptor: Red-tailed Hawk

 

Hatch-year Red-tailed Hawk.

Winter is here and with it comes excellent opportunities to view an abundance of raptors looking to survive it’s harsh months.

Winter can be a tough time for raptors. With a limited food supply and sometimes frigid temperatures, many first year raptors do not make it through these cold months. Those that do will be well positioned to survive and reproduce for years down the road.
