Best Answer

The Red-tailed Hawk can be found throughout North America, up into the southern part of Canada. While they have ranges as far south as Central America, Mexico, and even the West Indies. Usually the northern most populations will move southward during the winter, especially if there are any issues regarding a general lack of prey. They prefer to hunt open fields, forest edges, or deserts. These areas need breaks of small wooded areas, bluffs, or even homes, and other small urban areas for perch sights. They are a highly adaptable species. For more details, please see the sites listed below.
