Harris's Hawk

Parabuteo unicinctus

Harris's Hawk

The adult Harris's hawk inhabits desert scrub, mesquite woodland, and other open habitats of the American Southwest and Latin America. It hunts rabbits, rodents, lizards, and birds with powerful feet, rapid low flights, and sudden aerial attacks. Unlike many raptors, it is notably social and may hunt cooperatively with other Harris's hawks.
