The Red shouldered hawk.

The Red Shouldered Hawk's habitat is mature wet woods like hardwood swamps. This is where they breed. They also live in mixed woodlands that have evergreen trees and hardwood trees.

Most believe the Red Shouldered Hawk is endangered because of egg collection. Also, the birds were accused of killing poultry so it was legal to kill them and over harvesting occurred. They where also caught and kept in captivity. And last but not least their habitat was getting destroyed by new developments.

The ways to preserve and increase this hawk's numbers are to protect wet lands where it likes to breed and also protect forests.
