Harris Hawks and More

Harris Hawks is a bird of prey which is found throughout North, Central and South America. They can also be found in Western Europe and Britain, but are not native to this area. Harris Hawks are popular species for people interested in falconry, so it thought that these birds have escaped from captivity and are now breeding in the wild.

Harris Hawks are different to other species of birds of prey in that they hunt in a collective group, rather than hunt by themselves. It is thought that they have adapted to hunt this way due to the desert environment in which they live.


The red tailed hawk is another hawk which is popular in falconry, particularly in the United States, where this bird of prey can be found. It is popular because not only is it common in the area, but is also very easy to train. This hawk is also one of three species which is often referred to in the US as chicken hawk.
