Kentucky Color: Red Tailed Hawks Man changes their environment, but these birds are able to put the change to good use. Click on headline for story plus photo By Billy Joe Fudge Red Tailed Hawks are opportunistic raptors, taking advantage of situations created by humans in very interesting ways. I saw two Red Tailed Hawks adapting their hunting technique to human activity recently in Taylor Co., KY. Each had its own perch atop two rolls of hay in a recently mown meadow. It offered a great opportunity for a meal and the rolls of hay were a perfect perch from which to search. A farmer in the Loretta Community of Marion County told me about a Red Tail that hitches a ride atop his combine during the soybean harvest each year. Apparently the hunter was in hoping to do a little harvesting of his own. A photo of that would have been great, but life was a lot more difficult BD (Before Digital). These young folks don't know how good they have it compared to the olden days back 10 or 15 years ago. -Billy Joe Fudge This story was posted on 2010-07-05 04:16:38
