Home» Birds Of Prey Hawk Watch »
Our Hawk Watch category is for all your birds of prey sighting reports and photo postings. Eagle, falcons, owls & hawk related articles are found here.
Birds that
prey on other living animals, the term is usually reserved for species with hooked
bills and large with strong sharp talons. These birds include hawks, eagles, falcons
and their relatives (order Falconiformes) and owls (order Strigiformes).
It was perfect conditions for a drive to Stoney Creek to see the Northern Hawk Owl.
Each time I have visited this area (looking for owls) I have seen a resident Northern Harrier, but this time I saw two of these Marsh hawks quartering the fields low in search of dinner.
