i think hawks are tertiary because they eat secondary consumers
Some secondary consumers in the prairie ecosystem include carnivorous animals like coyotes, foxes, badgers, and hawks. These animals feed on primary consumers such as rodents, insects, and other small mammals.
Hawks do not usually eat plant material, so they are not primary consumers. They do eat animals that are primary consumers (e.g., rabbits, birds), so they can be considered secondary consumers. Some of the animals hawks eat also eat other animals (mice, bats or birds that eat insects, for example), so they can also be considered tertiary consumers.
A consumer who eats primary consumers is known as a secondary consumer. This means they are one step higher in the food chain and rely on consuming animals that feed on primary producers. Some examples of secondary consumers include carnivores like wolves and hawks.
Primary consumers are herbivores that eat plants directly. Secondary consumers are carnivores that eat primary consumers. Tertiary consumers are carnivores that eat secondary consumers.

In Missouri, secondary consumers include various carnivorous and omnivorous animals that feed on primary consumers. Examples are species such as raccoons, opossums, and certain birds of prey like hawks and owls. These animals play a crucial role in the ecosystem by controlling populations of primary consumers, such as herbivores. Additionally, some fish, like larger bass, also act as secondary consumers in aquatic ecosystems.

Tertiary Consumers: The diets of tertiary consumers may include animals from both the primary and secondary trophic levels. Like secondary consumers, their diet may also include some plants.
