Hawks will take any prey that they can kill. Anything from sparrows to geese! Obviously though, hawks are carnivores, so anything else they eat will be meat. Though, hawks do have a natural predator: Owls. Owls will attack and kill hawks at night (a benefit of being nocturnal). Owls have even made the Northern Aplomado Falcon critically endangered.
