The red-tailed hawk is protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act because it is considered a migratory bird, despite its year-round presence in many regions. This federal law aims to conserve bird populations and their habitats by prohibiting the killing, capturing, or possession of migratory birds without a permit. Protecting species like the red-tailed hawk helps maintain ecological balance and supports biodiversity. Additionally, the act reflects international commitments to safeguard migratory bird species across borders.
