Red-Shouldered Hawk

These photos are of a "Red-Shouldered Hawk" taken Florida in 2013.  They are found in Florida and California.  Summer in the upper-eastern parts they have become uncommon,  they stay close to the remaining forests.  They stay in the lower-eastern half year round.  There food are small mammals, amphibians, reptiles and birds.
 
They usually hunts by watching from a perch.  They use hearing and sight for locating their
prey.  They usually have 3 to 4 eggs.  They may use their nest over again.  They are do not migrate in the west and south.  The northern birds do migrate but not far.
 
Windy day.  Enjoy the post.  Kitfoxgal
