bird 2


Another bird that I saw while I was out flying my kite was a red- tailed hawk. This bird weighs around 1.5-3.5 pounds, and measures around 18 to 26 inches. Its measure is about the size of Shaq's foot. Beneath the hawk's belly is lighter than it is on its back. The bird also has a red tail, which is brick- red above and pink below. Its bill is hooked shaped like a raptor. Also, their young are referred to as chicks. The hawk's diet includes small mammals, birds and reptiles. Predators of the red- tailed hawk are raccoons, great horned owls, and red fox.
