I have noticed some Red-tailed Hawks in the area of my house lately. They are very beautiful to see soaring about the sky. I have always wanted to locate a nest but no such luck. I hear them all the time calling back and forth. I have included here a photo that I took of a Red-tailed Hawk flying above my house. I was hoping to get a short video to include the sound of their dries but I haven't been able to yet.

The Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) is the most common and widespread American member of the genus Buteo, which also includes the Red-shouldered, Swainson's and Gray hawks, among others. Like other hawks of this group, it soars over open country in search of its prey but just as often perches in a tree at the edge of a meadow, watching for the slightest movement in the grass below. The Red-tail rarely takes poultry, feeding mainly on small rodents. Certain western birds with grayish faintly streaked or mottled tails were formerly considered a separate species called "Harlan's Hawk". Info taken from National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Birds.

Red-tailed hawks are known for their brick-colored tails, but there are 14 subspecies of various colorations, and not all of them have this characteristic.
The hawk in my photo does not have a red tail. What distinguishes it as a Red-tail, oddly enough,is not it's tail but the markings on the undersides of it's wings and across it's belly.

Red-tails breeding season is late winter to early spring. They are monogamous and may mate for life.

Beautiful birds aren't they?
Blessings!
