The Red-tailed Hawk can be found throughout North America, up into the southern part of Canada. While they have ranges as far south as Central America, Mexico, and even the West Indies. Usually the northern most populations will move southward during the winter, especially if there are any issues regarding a general lack of prey. They prefer to hunt open fields, forest edges, or deserts. These areas need breaks of small wooded areas, bluffs, or even homes, and other small urban areas for perch sights. They are a highly adaptable species. For more details, please see the sites listed below.
Red tailed hawks move by flapping their wings a bit, then gliding through the air. When they want to catch pray they stop flapping and drop out of the sky, before they hit the ground they pull up their wings and swoop down on a rabbit or other pray item.

from personal experience from raising a baby hawk i fed it rabbit meat, i shot hares on our farm and cut it up into little peices, feed it with a chop stick to start off with just stick the meat onto the chopstick and SLOWLY move forward towards it's mouth until the hawk is about to grab it then stop and let it come towards the chopstick this means that the neck will stretch wich is good for the young if you are like most people and don't live near on on a farm use mince, i dont recomend this as it is processed and has alot if fat in it and baby hawks need protein and rich meat when they're young
(adittional details)
have the hawk in a box large enough for it to go to one side to the other to execise it,it will fall over alot/all of the time because they're arnt meant to walk they're meant to latch onto small sticks also when feeding its always good to make a distintive noise when feeding your baby hawk like sucking your teeth over and over again this means that when it learns this noise it will know when it is feeding time
also these birds are very terrortorial and will stick with you when theyre are grown up

Yes they do. Hawks do eat owls. The Hawk first would kill the owl, then they would use their beaks to open the body of an owl. Finally, the Hawk eats what is inside the owl. I believe a lot of people think an owl is too big for a hawk to eat, but it is NOT true. My teacher told me Hawks are able to eat Owl. Also they eat many types of owls such as a tawny owl.
Hawks in general eat small animals. This includes other birds, mice, rats, rabbits, squirrels, snakes, lizards, insects, fish, bats, and the young of larger animals, if given the chance, during an unguarded moment. There is a report that there is "conclusive evidence" showing 85 to 90 percent of their diet was made up of small rodents. I found this report mentioned only the one time. They are raptors, and hunting is their nature.
