It is illegal to own a bird of prey without a rehabilitator license or a valid raptor permit.
Generally, hawks are protected in many countries, but it depends on the species and the country.
In North America, species such as the Red-tailed Hawk and Common Black Hawk are protected through much of their range.
In Australia, the Christmas Island hawk and other native hawks are protected throughout the country.
No. An autotroph (auto = self; troph = nutrition) is an organism that obtains the energy it needs to live and grow via energy from the sun (photoautotrophy) or energy stored in the chemical bonds of simple inorganic molecules (chemoautotrophy). An owl is regarded as a heterotroph (hetero = other) because it obtains the energy it needs to live and grow by consuming other living organisms, such as rodents.
If they were a entirely new massive version of owls of hawks, yes. But not with the normal ones.
it is illegal to kill a hawk everywhere because they are going into extinction, I think.
Most hawks begin to nest in late winter in southern climes, and early spring in northern areas.
they can hide in tall trees to so they can watch their prey to sneak up on them and wait for perfect moment
If you have ever heard the expression "eagle eye" that goes for hawks. Hundreds of feet up they can detect the presence of a mouse for example, do a very high speed dive and grab it. I have seen hawks also do this dive upon other smaller birds flying in the air, and it is unreal.
Then you wonder where the US defense missle Hawak came from. (air to air)
A pair of red hawks will construct their nest out of sticks & twigs, either in a large tree, or on a cliff edge, and will line it with plant matter such as bark, stalks, pine needles and catkins.
There is no difference between genders in this species yet there are different types borealis, harlani, krideri, and calurus.

The common nighthawk, chordeiles minor, is not a hawk at all, but a member of the family Caprimulgidae, which includes whippoorwills and chuck will's widows..They catch flying insects on the wing, but may take small birds, but this is very rare, as the Caprimulgidae are nocturnal species.
Usually, hawks roost in evergreen trees, where they cannot be seen easy by predators.
Yes, Red Tailed Hawks and Red Shouldered Hawks both can take Muskrats as prey.
