A pair of red hawks will construct their nest out of sticks & twigs, either in a large tree, or on a cliff edge, and will line it with plant matter such as bark, stalks, pine needles and catkins.

Yes! How else would they be alive?! They need to adapt to temperature, life around them, food sources, and their overall habitat. Red-tailed hawks normally live in warm, swampy areas that inhabit mice, voles, sparrows, and small waterfowl. Red-Tailed hawks use this structual adaptation to survive in almost every way.

FLIGHT and HUNTING: Red-tailed hawks are active fliers; they flap a lot, and hardly ever soar. When they see a mouse, they dive straight down (at up to 120 mph) to catch it with sharp talons (claws). They also hunt by sitting on a perch and watching for prey. Then they pounce on it! This perch can be a fence post or a dead tree. A good territory has many perches. Red-tailed hawks will eat any animal that is raccoon-sized or smaller, even pets. 85% of their diet is made up of mammals, like mice, squirrels, and rabbits. (Bald eagles and ospreys eat mostly fish.) About 10% of the hawk's prey are birds like ducks or woodpeckers. The rest of their diet (only 5%) is made up of snakes, frogs, fish, and grasshoppers. When young hawks are learning to hunt, they find a low perch to sit on and swoop down on the prey. They are not good enough yet to attack from the sky. It takes a lot of practice to be able to catch a bird or a bat that is flying fast. There are easier ways to get a meal. For example, red-tailed hawks are attracted to forest fires. Small animals run from the fire, and the hawks swoop down to catch a quick dinner. NESTING and RAISING BABIES: Red-tailed hawks mate for life. During the year, they do not stay in the same tree with each other, but they do share a territory and defend it against other raptors. They often use the same nest year after year (if an owl doesn't get it first!) They start building a nest or fixing up an old one in January or February. The nests are 2 ½ - 3 feet across, made of twigs, bark, and green pine needles. Nests are usually in the tallest tree. During courtship (dating), the mother and father will fly together, diving and rolling, even locking talons in mid-air. After courtship, the mother usually lays 3 bluish white eggs with brown spots. The mother sits on the eggs to keep them warm, and the father hunts and feeds her. After 30 days, the babies hatch. They are covered with white down (fluff). The babies learn to fly when they are 1 ½ months old, but they still depend on their parents for food. During the summer, the fledglings (young fliers) follow their parents around, watching and learning how to hunt. Because red-tailed hawks are very territorial, it may be hard for the young hawks to find a new place to live. Other adults will chase them away if the youngsters come into their territory. When the young hawks are 2-3 years old, they can find a mate and have their own babies. If a raccoon or a storm destroys the eggs, the mother will lay new ones. Red-tailed hawks usually live 6-7 years in the wild. They are easily disturbed when nesting, so don't go up to a tree with a large nest. The parents might leave the babies if you upset them. It is against the law to have a hawk for a pet or to hunt them or even collect their feathers. If you find a hawk nest, watch it from far away through binoculars.
