RED-TAILED HAWKS



Buteo jamaicensis
SUBFAMILY BUTEONINAE

HABITAT: OPEN COUNTRY, WOODLANDS, PRAIRIE GROVES, MOUNTAINS, PLAINS, ROADSIDES, FIELD EDGES
L 19" WS 49" WT 2.4 lbs. F>M * LIFESPAN UP TO 21 YRS

A large stocky hawk that has a typical light-phase with a whitish breast and rust-colored tail.
Young birds are duller, more streaked and lack rust-colored tail of the adult. They are distinguished
from Red-shouldered and Swainson’s hawks by their white chest, stocky build, and broader, more rounded wings.
This species is quite variable in color, especially in the West, where blackish individuals occur; these usually retain the rusty tail.
