Actually, there are five types of hawks. Accipiters, like the Cooper's, sharp shinned and goshawks, are woodland hawks that feed primarily on birds. Buteos are large hawks that feed on rodents, snakes, and sometimes carrion. Falcons are fast flying hawks that feed on birds, rodents, and even insects in smaller species like the kestrel. Other falcons include the peregrine, prairie, and gyrfalcon. Eagles are closely related to the Buteo hawks, and include the bald, golden, and sea eagles and others. Eagles are normally larger than other Buteos.
Then there are the kites, graceful hunters with pointed wings, including the swallow tailed, snail, and Mississippi kites.
Finally, the northern harrier, a bird of open meadows that feeds mainly on rodents.
