🌎 Red-shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus)

The red-shouldered hawk is a medium-sized bird of prey found in North America. It has distinctive reddish-brown shoulders and a barred pattern on its underparts. Known for its piercing call, this hawk prefers wooded habitats near water sources where it hunts small mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. It is an agile flier and builds its nest in the canopy of trees. The Red-shouldered hawk plays an important role in controlling rodent populations and is considered a symbol of healthy ecosystems. Five subspecies are recognised.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

An outdoor, daytime photograph of a red shouldered hawk sitting on a thin tree stump. The bird’s bright yellow feet and sharp black talons on are on the top of the stump. The hawk has brown feathers on its back and dappled across its otherwise pale chest feathers, which are fluffed up. It is looking up and to the left of the frame focusing its brown eyes at something in the distance, along with its sharp, black beak. The background of green leaves is out of focus.
