Red Shouldered Hawks

Watching Like A Hawk! - I wonder where that expression came from? A collection of regal Red-Shouldered Hawks I've filmed over the past few months doing what they do best - Watching! Red Shouldered Hawks in Florida are generally pretty approachable and tolerant of annoying people when they are trying to hunt. Red-shouldered Hawk Buteo lineatus The Red-shouldered Hawk is one of the most beautiful and distinctively marked hawks in North America. Adults are barred with rusty-red on the underparts and have bright rufous shoulders. Their underparts are dark brown, and the tail is black with 4 or 5 narrow white bands. When in flight, pale crescents in the wings are visible from below. They breed from northern California south to Baja, in the Midwestern United States east to New Brunswick; and south to the Florida Keys and Texas. Habitat. In Florida, Red-Shouldered Hawks nest in a wide variety of woodland habitats, but they are particularly identified with cypress swamps and river bottomlands. It most frequently still-hunts from a relatively low, inconspicuous perch but may also forage from a low, coursing flight . Its diet is characterized by sluggish, easily captured animals, such as toads, frogs, snakes, rodents, and small birds and their nestlings. Typical nest sites are located in large mature trees with good canopy cover. A bulky well-built nest is usually placed a little more than halfway up the tree in a major fork. Usually two whitish eggs marked with brown are laid and incubated for approximately 33 days. The young birds fledge at 40 to 45 days of age. Seasonal Occurrence. In Florida, Red-shouldered Hawks breed from January through May. Most birds reside in Florida, but the states' population is augmented in September and October by fall migrants from northern states. Status. Two of the 5 subspecies of the Red-shouldered Hawk breed in Florida: B. l. alleni of the Panhandle and peninsula south to Lake Okeechobee, and the smaller and paler B. l. extimus of south Florida and the Keys. The Red-shouldered Hawk is probably the most numerous and widely distributed breeding hawk in Florida. Pair are quite noticeable as they circle above their territories, incessantly crying "kee-yar kee-yar," and intermittent performing undulating sky-dances. http://legacy.myfwc.com/bba/docs/bba_...
