Hawks

The sharp shinned hawk will take bluebirds. They usually prey on small birds, while their look alike relative, the Cooper's hawk, eats larger species like pigeons, doves, and quail.

Yes. Humans, Great Horned Owls, Tree climbing bears, and lynx.

they like to live along the edge of a forest because it is easier to catch mice in an open area.

A nestling hawk can be called eyas. These are the hawks that are removed from their nests for falconry training.

Some hawks on the main island of Hawaii have wingspans ranging up to 3 feet. Other smaller hawks on surrounding islands have wingspans of less than 2 feet. THey weigh up to 20 kg and do you know how much that is? That's enough to break the ice, so u can call me at 267-733-5492;)

Hawks and all flying birds fly the same way that an airplane stays in the air. When a bird extends its wings and starts moving, air flows over the wing. This creates high pressure on top of the wing and low pressure on the underside. The air moves under the wing, and helps push it up.

No. The adult wasp stings a tarantula to paralyse it, then drags it down into its burrow. The wasp then lays eggs on the paralysed (but still alive) tarantula, which hatch into grubs. The grubs feed on the body of the tarantula until they pupate.

Hawks usually build their nests in the top branches of large trees. When location does not provide trees to place their nests, they have adapted to also build nests on ledges on cliff sides, and the city dwelling raptors even build them on building ledges and roof tops.

An unfledged hawk is called an eyas.

Some meanings of unfledged hawk are:

1. Any of various birds of prey of the order Falconiformes and especially of the genera Accipiter and Buteo, characteristically having a short hooked bill and strong claws adapted for seizing.

2. Any of various similar birds of prey.

3. A person who preys on others; a shark.

4.

a. One who demonstrates an actively aggressive or combative attitude, as in an argument.

b. A person who favors military force or action in order to carry out foreign policy.

intr.v. hawked, hawk·ing, hawks

To hunt with trained hawks.

To swoop and strike in the manner of a hawk

Their sense of hearing is excellent, and their eyesight the best in the entire animal world. Not only can hawks see greater distances than humans, but their visual acuity (the ability to see clearly) is eight times that of ours.

7 months.

Hawks (and all birds of prey) learn to fly very young, typically only a few weeks old. They are usually fully grown at about 12 weeks and ready to leave the nest and live independently. The parents will then usually produce another brood (unless the season is too late by then).

they both poo

Most hawks are not nocturnal. Nocturnal refers to the behavior of activity during the night, after sleeping during the day.

hawk is a quaternary consumer.

Yes, hawks are birds, in the family Accipitridae.

maybe. not many birds can kill a fully grown experienced house/wild/feral cat. an eagle will but any owl including snowy owl wont usually attack a cat if smaller prey is also in the area. if not they might but in turn the cat may do the same. i know this because my cat stalked a fully grown barn owl and killed it by going for the jugular.

They are mainly from warm and desert like climates. Such as Texas and Arizona's southern regions, and Mexico. They are very striking brids, and unlike most other hawks, they are usually seen in family groups and hunt together. Often perches out in the open on poles and other high objects and can be seen perching together. Parabuteo unicinctus-Harris's Hawk

According to my grandma Sadie (born & raised in Florida) they are the same thing.

Well, they can be.

"Mosquito hawk" is what we call a "common name", or an "informal name"; it is what people call any particular animal or plant in a particular place or time. It need not be correct, for example a mosquito is not a hawk and not a mosquito and it means different things in different places, and in a lot of places it means nothing at all because lots of people don't use the name. Common names are useful because they enable people in a particular place to talk about animals and plants and more or less understand each other most of the time, but they also are confusing because most animals and plants have no common names at all, most those that do have common names have more than one even in the same language, some in different places. Most common names also apply to more than one animal or plant. And a lot of common names have wrong meanings.

"Formal" or "scientific" names may be a bit harder to use in many ways, but they do better than common names in some of those ways.

For example, in some places a mosquito hawk is a Crane fly (also called a "daddy long legs". See what I mean about common names?). A crane fly is not a mosquito (though it , not a hawk, and doesn't hawk mosquitoes. It is a member of the fly Family Tipulidae, and that is a name that an insect scientist (entomologist) will recognise in any language in any place in the world.

In some places a mosquito hawk is indeed a dragonfly as grandma Sadie rightly said. It also is neither a mosquito nor a hawk, but it does catch mosquitoes in the air; it "hawks" them all right.

In some places a mosquito hawk is a damselfly. Damselflies are very closely related to dragonflies, and like dragonflies, damselflies are neither hawks nor mosquitoes, but do hawk mosquitoes. Most people who call dragonflies mosquito hawks also call damselflies mosquito hawks. Both are in the order Odonata, and again, an entomologist in any country should know the name Odonata, and what it means.

Crane flies are in the order Diptera and therefore are practically unrelated to dragonflies and damselflies.

Yes

Some of their adaptations are their needle-sharp claws and adaptations to different biomes of the world

Birds of prey have varying beaks for different diets, but they are generally designed for quickly killing prey.

The red tailed hawk is a "Buteo", a family of mainly large, robust, rodent eating hawks, and is related to other members of this group. Ohers are the red shouldered hawk, broad winged hawk, Swainson's hawk, rough legged hawk, ferruginous hawk, Short tailed hawk, Harris' hawk.

i will feel free to answer that question the bird larger that the bald egeal or the white pelican is the pink flamingo.Back in the 16bc there was only small bird and medium birds the native amercians where historyican time liners that cam later on in life just Indians and Romans and egyptians and historicans like that anyway.

The claw of an eagle, hawk or any bird of prey is called a talon.

Adult red-tailed hawks are large formidable birds, and have few predators. Most predation on this species occurs to eggs and nestlings. Great horned owls are known predators of red-tailed hawk nestlings. Corvids are known predators of eggs and nestlings. (Preston and Beane, 1993)
