Hawks in general eat small animals. This includes other birds, mice, rats, rabbits, squirrels, snakes, lizards, insects, fish, bats, and the young of larger animals, if given the chance, during an unguarded moment. There is a report that there is "conclusive evidence" showing 85 to 90 percent of their diet was made up of small rodents. I found this report mentioned only the one time. They are raptors, and hunting is their nature.
