RED TAILED HAWKS

Behavior

           Red Tailed Hawks are very territorial and like to be left alone. Their territories usually vary in size from 1/2 mile to 2 square miles. The male will fly around and patrol the area for " Intruders ". The female is very aggressive about guarding her nest. If an intruder is detected and a simple screech does not warn them off the male will defend his home and family by attacking the non- compliant animal until it leaves their territory alone.
