Red-tailed Hawk
Where do animals go when their tails fall off?
The retail store!
Interesting Fact: The Red-tailed Hawk has a thrilling, raspy scream that sounds exactly like a raptor should sound. At least, that’s what Hollywood directors seem to think. Whenever a hawk or eagle appears onscreen, no matter what species, the shrill cry on the soundtrack is almost always a Red-tailed Hawk.

Great shot! I didn’t know that about Hollywood and raptor cries??? I was out shopping for food a few months ago when a bald eagle flew overhead. The sound was magnificent and froze everyone outside in their tracks.
That must have been really nice to hear and see. Thank you very much for stopping by and sharing that with us. Happy Blogging! 🙂

That hawk-scream drives me nuts, especially when they’re showing an eagle. Our eagles around here sound like Tweety Bird. Great blog!

We have Coopers Hawks in my neighborhood. Their tails never fail, however, they could use voice lessons.
Hehehe I do come across a Cooper every once in a while, Red Tails I see almost every day and they have a quite a mouth on them. Thank you and Happy Blogging! 🙂
