Next time you spot one of these majestic birds soaring overhead, take a moment to appreciate the important role they play in maintaining a healthy ecosystem. #RedTailedHawks #PestControl #BirdsofPrey #EcosystemHealth | Alaska Raptor Center

Red-Tailed Hawk vs Snake - A difficult battle of Hawk 🐍😱😵 | Birds World

Red-tailed Hawks in North American do between 60% - 80% of their hunting from an elevated perch. They visually search the terrain below for prey. We love this video from Mick Thompson that really captures the moment! [Image Description: A Red-tailed Hawk perches on a tree branch, its eyes darting back and forth as it looks at the ground below. Then the bird takes off. We then see another angle of the bird as it takes off in slow motion.] | Bird Alliance of Oregon
