Red-tailed Hawk Greeting Card

Red-tailed hawks can be seen soaring throughout North America. If you pay attention, you can notice red-tailed hawks on almost any long car ride, anywhere. Red-tailed Hawks soar above, slowly turning circles on their broad, rounded wings. Sometimes you’ll spot them on top telephone poles or highway exit signs, scanning the ground to catch the movements of a vole, pigeon, or rabbit, or simply waiting out cold weather before climbing a thermal updraft into the sky. This particular illustration is of a juvenile red-tailed hawk which dons lightly barred pale tailfeathers. Source: Cornell Lab of Ornithology
