Hawks

Perhaps, if the dog was very small, or a puppy but it is unlikely that a hawk would bother a dog.

Depends on what type of eagle and hawk you are talking about
A golden eagle (there are many species of eagles) is larger, heavier and stronger than a hawk (of which there are many species of hawks).

Hawks are very important to us for several reasons. Hawks are carnivorous birds, so they're strong enough to catch their preys. Firstly, this is a long explanation about the pest control. Snakes and rodents are nasty pests because snakes can bite people, which some species can be venomous enough for some people to die. Rodents are also very bad because they can gnaw at people, invade our house and wreck stuffs, destroy farm crops which triggers some famine to people, and some rodents can carry some nasty diseases, which can trigger a plague like the European Black Death in the mid-13th century. However, the hawk these nasty animals, including the snakes and rodents, so that it can save people to reduce the risk of snakebites and rodent plagues. Hawks are part of the snakebite and rodent control because they usually prey on these small nasty animals. Secondly, this partially connects to the first reason point. Hawks are part of the food chain, just like other animals, and hawk is typically an apex predator. If the hawks went extinct, there would be a chaos to the food chain. The hawk usually eat snakes, rodents, small mammals, etc. for their food diet. The hawk eat these things everyday in order to control their prey population. If the hawks went extinct, their prey would overpopulate because there'll be nothing to hunt them down. The snake and rodent overpopulation is especially more terrible because it'll increase the vulnerable frequency of more snakebites and rodent plagues, in which people would be in a huge danger.

That's why we shouldn't hunt hawks into extinction, otherwise we'll all terribly affect ourselves at the end.

no. but they like to live in very high places, like other eagles, falcons, and other large birds.

If you are in an area populated with hawks and your cats are far from you, then yes, it is possible your cat could be a snack. I frequently have have these problems in my backyard, but not once has any of my cats been taken by a hawk. What you should do to avoid this event:

Hawks will not hunt if it sees a stronger, bigger thing that could harm it's hunt. So keep your cats within 5 or 7 yards from you.

Constantly scan the sky for any 'lingering' hawks. I've had hawks take to circling my cats from high above before. If you do see any hawks, go straight to your cat's side.

Follow that and your cats will be safe!

Im not the greatest person to be answering this but I would like to help. Humans actually help the red tailed hawks, I know it sounds wierd but we do. Our buildings can provide these hawks with shelter for building their nests and our telephone poles as well, since humans dont really bother them. Red tailed Hawks arent an endangered species, there are actually a lot of these hawks around. We also use them for falconry, we train them to hunt, which has helped their population number go up.

Hawks beaks are very useful. They are strong for breaking open things - snail kites' specialty, impaling things and for breaking down their prey into edible pieces for themselves or their offspring.

No, they are not venomous.

However, they are very large snakes with very strong feeding instincts. Even without venom, they can inflict a nasty bite, and should be left to experienced reptile keepers.

Peregrine Falcons are the most threat for your pigeons. It's up to your pigeons to master the defense against them.

Most people think it's bad luck, but some think it's superstitious.

i am pretty sure he is moving to Cleveland OH. his parents live in Centerville OH, in the coldesack right next to forest field park.

There is a great site called the Internet Bird Collection that has a flock of bird videos and audio clips for your edification. A link is provided to just one of their videos (with audio). The second link is to their home page.

No, A Hawk Is A Tertiary Consumer. It Eats Secondary Consumers.

the red tailed hawk can lay up to 1-5 eggs that are white with brown spots

Hawks are 'raptors' who circle in the sky till they see small animals or birds, then dive on them and catch the prey in their strong talons (claws).

Most Red Tailed Hawks have a dark brown color on their back, head, and on top of their wings. They a rusty red tail, and a light underbelly with a few brown marks on it. The bottoms of a Red Tailed Hawk's wings have a combination of brown, light brown, and black splotches on the wings. They have a mostly cream color near the bottoms of the wings. Hope this helps! ;)

Hawks are Primary Cosumers on the food chain, in that they prey upon smaller birds and animals but are not preyed upon themselves, except on rare occasions where they exist alongside much bigger birds of prey such as eagles, and are in competition with them for food.

The sparrow hawk, also known as the American Kestrel Falcon, (it's a falcon) has predators consisting of great-horned owls, red-tailed hawks, and other bigger birds, even crows and ravens. Some land mammals have been known to attack falcons, such as raccoons, bobcats, coyotes, and more.

Every bird is a vertebrate.

FLIGHT and HUNTING: Red-tailed hawks are active fliers; they flap a lot, and hardly ever soar. When they see a mouse, they dive straight down (at up to 120 mph) to catch it with sharp talons (claws). They also hunt by sitting on a perch and watching for prey. Then they pounce on it! This perch can be a fence post or a dead tree. A good territory has many perches. Red-tailed hawks will eat any animal that is raccoon-sized or smaller, even pets. 85% of their diet is made up of mammals, like mice, squirrels, and rabbits. (Bald eagles and ospreys eat mostly fish.) About 10% of the hawk's prey are birds like ducks or woodpeckers. The rest of their diet (only 5%) is made up of snakes, frogs, fish, and grasshoppers. When young hawks are learning to hunt, they find a low perch to sit on and swoop down on the prey. They are not good enough yet to attack from the sky. It takes a lot of practice to be able to catch a bird or a bat that is flying fast. There are easier ways to get a meal. For example, red-tailed hawks are attracted to forest fires. Small animals run from the fire, and the hawks swoop down to catch a quick dinner. NESTING and RAISING BABIES: Red-tailed hawks mate for life. During the year, they do not stay in the same tree with each other, but they do share a territory and defend it against other raptors. They often use the same nest year after year (if an owl doesn't get it first!) They start building a nest or fixing up an old one in January or February. The nests are 2 ½ - 3 feet across, made of twigs, bark, and green pine needles. Nests are usually in the tallest tree. During courtship (dating), the mother and father will fly together, diving and rolling, even locking talons in mid-air. After courtship, the mother usually lays 3 bluish white eggs with brown spots. The mother sits on the eggs to keep them warm, and the father hunts and feeds her. After 30 days, the babies hatch. They are covered with white down (fluff). The babies learn to fly when they are 1 ½ months old, but they still depend on their parents for food. During the summer, the fledglings (young fliers) follow their parents around, watching and learning how to hunt. Because red-tailed hawks are very territorial, it may be hard for the young hawks to find a new place to live. Other adults will chase them away if the youngsters come into their territory. When the young hawks are 2-3 years old, they can find a mate and have their own babies. If a raccoon or a storm destroys the eggs, the mother will lay new ones. Red-tailed hawks usually live 6-7 years in the wild. They are easily disturbed when nesting, so don't go up to a tree with a large nest. The parents might leave the babies if you upset them. It is against the law to have a hawk for a pet or to hunt them or even collect their feathers. If you find a hawk nest, watch it from far away through binoculars.

Feeding

Hawks like to feed in all kinds of animals and insects for example: bats, rats, mice, gophers, rabbits, lizards, Snakes and grasshoppers. The hawk hunts in a big group so the hunting would be easier.

Generally yes, most pairs are monogamous. A red-tailed hawk will generally only seek a new mate if its current mate dies.
