Red-tailed hawks not good at swooping, Wendy Burt says About: Dave Rosenbaum argues Bub Polston birds uh chicken hawk To ColumbiaMagazine.com: Hmmmmmmm.........Unfortunately, there is no ornithological organization in the U.S. that recognizes a bird species called the "chicken hawk." The term has commonly been used for any hawk and is not connected to any one species. The photograph in CM was most likely a Red-tailed Hawk. There is no question that some hawks - especially Accipiters like the Coopers Hawk or the Sharp-shinned Hawk - will swoop in and take a chicken from time to time as birds are their main food. The Red-tailed Hawk, on the other hand, is a Buteo and, as such, is not well adapted well to maneuvering in tight areas and swooping in and taking birds as prey. As stated earlier, the great bulk of the diet of the Red-tailed Hawk is made up of small rodents that they hunt from perches in open areas. In the meantime, I hope everyone enjoys the Thanksgiving poultry of their choice this week. s/Wendy Butler Burt This story was posted on 2009-11-24 09:05:54
