Red-shouldered Hawk


The adult Red-shouldered Hawk can be identified by 3 white stripes on the tail and a white breast interspersed with tan barring.

It has a habit of flying low through wooded areas in search of prey, and perches on fences and low branches. 

It is a very vocal hawk. If you hear a lot of screeching, but can’t make out the markings, it’s likely to be a red-shouldered hawk.
