Red-tailed Hawk  

Mimus polyglottos

This is the most widespread and familiar hawk in North America. It is the largest of the hawks, weighing 2-4 pounds, with a wingspread of 4½ feet.

The Red-tailed Hawk can see eight times better than humans. Its call is a hoarse, rasping scream.

If you see a young Red-tail, its tail might not be very red yet. But you can still identify it by the dark marks on its shoulders as it flies overhead.
