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.

Do other hawks help catch their prey?

The Harris Hawks have been observed hunting in such a way as to be considered to hunt in groups. They will "stoop" in groups increasing their chances by confusing, and tiring their prey (usually rabbits are their prey of choice when hunting in groups), until one finally gets a good sighting on the animal. As many as four to six will hunt rabbits together, using a hunting style called "surprise and pounce". Thus increasing their chances of acquiring their prey. They will also employ another technique know as "flush and ambush" when the prey has gone into hiding. This involves one Harris Hawk actually landing, and walking into the cover, flushing the prey from it's hiding place. The waiting Hawks will then start the stoop again, employing the "surprise and pounce" technique. The Hawk on the ground has, for all particle purposes no chance of catching the rabbit, and yet he lands, and flushes the prey from it's cover to improve the chances of the other Hawks in flight. This is a perfect example of team work. For more details, please see the sites listed below.
