About the Harris’s Hawk

A handsome hawk of the arid Southwest, Harris’s Hawk is a standout with bold markings of dark brown, chestnut red, and white, long yellow legs, and yellow markings on its face. The most social of North American raptors, these birds are often found in groups, cooperatively attending nests and hunting together as a team. When hunting, a group of hawks surround their prey, flush it for another to catch, or take turns chasing it. This hawk’s social nature and relative ease with humans has made it popular among falconers.

The Harris's Hawk nests in social units that vary from an adult pair, to as many as seven individuals, including both adults and juveniles..

Cooperatively hunting groups of Harris's Hawks are more successful at capturing prey than individuals hunting alone. Hawks with more than two members in their group have higher survival rates.

The Hawks in this book were photographed at the Arizona Sonoran Desert Museum near Tucson, Arizona and at the Canadian Raptor Conservancy in Vittoria, Ontario, Canada.

All photographs are available for sale, in various formats, on my website.
