The Red-tailed Hawk ranges throughout all of North America from the most northern tree line in Alaska and Canada to as far south as Panama. It is a most adapatble bird, being equally at home in deserts and forests, to the mountains or even the city.
It is a member of the buzzard family, a powerful and husky species, with the widest ecological tolerance of any North American Hawk. It is an aggressive bird and vigorously defends it's territory, specially during the winter months when food is scarce.
The female is the larger of the mating pair and they have a strong bond even outside the breeding season. They usually lay only 1 - 3 eggs at a time which incubate for up to 32 days.
The wisdom of the Hawk includes :
clear sightedness, long term memory, spiritual sensitivity or heightened instinct, courage, wisdom, illumination, an ability to see the whole picture and not just focus on the parts, creativity, truth, wise use of opportunities, and the ability to problem solve based on past experience.
