The red-tailed hawk or buteo jamaicensis lives in North and Central America and the West Indies. Their haibitats are desert, forest, and mountians. They can live in a lot of different areas.
They have a variety of prey. They eat rodents, rabbits, and other small mammals. They also eat snakes, lizards, birds, and large insects. When they hunt they either fly or stay on an exposed branch like a dead tree to swoop down on their praey. They help farmers by eating rats and mice.
Their charactersics are bright chesnut colored tails that you can see while they fly. Their throat and undersides are white, usually with a dark "bellyband". They have a dark streak on their sides. The females are significantly larger than the male in every case. They have a down-curved beak. The have widely spaced toes and sharp, ling, curving claws. On the soles on their feet are roughened, bulging pads to help them to catch their prey. They are about nineteen to twenty-six inches long and they have a wingspan of four and a half feet. Western red-tailed hawks tend to be darker. Arizona red-tailed hawks are pale, and prairie red-tailed hawks are more pale than Arizona red-tailed hawks. When they are immature they are similar, but their tail is brown and striped.
Their nests are made of twigs and sticks fifteen to seventy feet above ground trees, on the side of cliffs, or if they live in desert, they are on cacti.
