We have a Blue Jay here that makes that exact sound to scare the cats away from their cat food. Then comes down to eat and make the normal Blue Jay sound to let the other Jays know they can come get food. Wife has a video of it. Absolutely amazing
Blue Jays are an ok baseball team lol. Kidding aside, blue jays are in the same family than crows/ravens if I am not mistaken, they do imitate sounds. It's crazy wjat rhey can do
yes , i have heard and seen red-tailed hawks , eastern-central texas and now north central arkansas , also alot of bald eagles in arkansas , alot , magnificent birds , absolutely magnificent
Where? I am in Maryland. Just saw one looking to feed on my "backyard birds". Scared ALL OTHER birds away (Blue Jays, Wood peckers, Black capped Chickadees, finches, Mourning Doves, Cardinals, etc) in a flash.
Southeastern Virginia. Sit on my back porch in the afternoon for 15 minutes. We hear them all the time. Sometimes we see a parent hawk give a young hawk flying lessons. I love these birds.
I just had a fantastic encounter with a red-tailed hawk earlier this afternoon. I was reading in my backyard in Berkeley, CA, and heard an unfamiliar calling. I immediately looked up from my book and met the gaze of a hawk that was perched on a tree less than ten feet away from me. My jaw literally dropped, as I'd never been so close to one before, and watched it for a few moments before it flew away. Oddly enough, the noise that it was made wasn't like any of the calls in this video. So I am now curious about what it may have been trying to communicate... In addition, I was recently in the U.S. Virgin Islands on the island of St. John and saw several flying right by the sea. Absolutely beautiful.
I played the video by my pool and the kids says there's that hawk. Then turned it off and then the real hawk sounded off in our woods and flew over us. Awesome! The grand kids were in awe.
Same here I think mine have young ones around and they come flying around every time I play the red tailed hawk call. It only takes minutes before they show
There is a hawk in the trees behind my house in east Anaheim across from Yorba Regional Park!!! That sound is what I hear!! There is also an owl! I’ve seen remains of squirrels and bigger prey. I’m in Southern California!!
Sitting outside in my yard in the northwest suburbs of Chicago listening to this video and the two live red-tails that have been hanging around the neighborhood for the past 3 weeks. Beautiful to watch them soar. Saw one with a squirrel in its talons last weekend.
Yes! Clinton Township, Michigan! I was sitting outside as I am writing this. Two birds were circling opposite each other with a third distant from them. Realized that I had my 8 lb. white Chihuahua in my lap and that these predators can see extremely well ... lol. The cries matched the cries recorded here that play 1st. 😮
I just went out with my dog in the backyard and heard this exact scream and I thought it was a eagle! 😂 I had to look it up to make sure my dog was safe, just figured out that it was a red-tailed hawk! Thank you! I’m located at Minooka, IL!!!
First time I heard one of these beauties in the wild was over Lake Wheeler in NC. The reverb through the valley was better than any recording I've heard on TV or film; nicely forested long, deep valley with plenty of reverb decay. I found this video because I just saw a red tailed hawk perched on my back porch railing this morning! This is in east Raleigh, next to a storm water catchment pond that was already a habitat for a gaggle of resident Canada geese, a couple eagles, some great blue herons, mourning doves, and many little songbirds. I welcome this screecher to my humble neighborhood!
I live in Southeast Alabama and have seen and heard them here all my 53 years. I can say with confidence in recent years their numbers are back in full force! What was once a rare occurrence when I was a Young boy is now almost a daily routine to see them soaring above. Thanks for your videos.

I’m sitting on the balcony of my ninth floor condo in Richfield Minnesota across from a pond. We get regular visits from a pair of red tail hawks. I was playing the sounds and getting responses from both juvenile and mature hawks. A juvenile hawk flew a few feet from my balcony. Whenever I hear them I have to go out and watch them because I love to watch them hunt and sore on windy days. They are truly beautiful.
Several years ago one was caught in our mosquito netting in the back yard. I heard the calls all summer as the hawk stayed in a local clutch of trees. I talked with him daily while he healed. His parents finally came to feed him and stay until he could fly. Since that time 'Blueberry ' has returned regularly..once even bringing his Mate to meet me! The females are a LOT lar ger than the males. This is in Powder Springs Georgia. West of Atlanta. I have since changed to bird friendly netting.
Wow, that's so cool! I live near Woodstock, Georgia, I've heard hawks soaring in the sky with that classic voice sometimes. But I've never come across one at a close distance or spotted one in my backyard though!
An internet friend in Tampa, FL posted a pic of a hawk that sits on her fence almost every day. I looked it up and it was a red shouldered hawk and it was compared to a red tailed hawk to show differences. I live in Sequim, WA and usually see red tailed hawks here. Had one perching in a nearby tree just yesterday. Can always identify them when soaring over the fields because of their beautiful red tail. I've only heard them a few times over the years. Right now I hear the owls every night. Thanks for the video!
Rescued one in Western Maryland actually. Was surprised at how dull the talons were in comparison to other birds of prey. He chilled in my back window while I took him to a rescue to be checked out and the released back where I found him. It was an awesome experience (though admittedly very dangerous)to handle that beautiful bird.
South East Michigan- I see at least 6 almost daily, and dozens more driving around this area. It's hilly, rural, and there are many lakes. It's really amazing to watch them glide and follow their shadows down into the valley. Every so often they dive and scoop up something. The neighbors with farms have to cover their chickens, and keep an eye on small pets, but it's worth sharing the land with such beautiful birds. The call is unmistakable now that I have been able to verify it here. I think we have Cooper Hawks too. Thanks for the audio!
The hawk has been a spirit animal of mine for quite sometime , my father rest his soul , passed that on to me, heard a screaming like sound in the trees this morning, called back and one flew closer to me, sun isn’t even up yet, John Michael walleye park cypress springs tx
Thanks for posting this video, especially including both the adult and juvenile calls. Next door neighbor got some chickens, which I guess are also known as red tail hawk BAIT. Lots of red tails hanging out around my house now. There is a juvenile red tail that is squawking up a storm out my window, but I wouldn't have known for sure what it was without your video as most videos only have the adult call which is totally different. Appreciate the info/education! Oh yeah, live in Northeast Oklahoma, lots of red tails here.
I hear and see them daily… Jacksonville Fl. I often see them go after crows, squirrels and many stray kittens. There are several that seem to hunt with each other… with these sounds they circled above me
I have red-tailed hawks nesting on my property in McMinnville, Tennessee. They are in flight daily. The current juvenile is learning to coast and dive this week, but can frequently be heard calling to it’s mom and dad from the treetops near their nest. Such amazing creatures.
They are truly majestic, they've always been one of my favorite animals. One flew over head tonight calling for awhile through out the neighborhood, San Diego, CA. I've seen many in Utah, California and Wyoming. Their mating ritual is absolutely stunning and terrifying! One of the more dangerous and breathtaking mating rituals of animals.
We live in Acworth Georgia. We have Red Tail Halks around our home all the time. Today we had 9 flying all around out home. Our home has lots of trees one Core land. We just love to sit out and watch and learn from them. How could learn how to fly and care for the Halks
Nokesville VA. They attack my chickens so I must watch carefully when they are ranging. In fact, a hawk had one of my birds down one day, and I charged across the meadow and it released it, and the bird survived, but others unfortunately have not.
South East Idaho...I have a red-tailed hawk that showed up a little over a year ago. She lives in a tall pine right outside my back door(approximately 20ft from door way openining). My home is surrounded by several different types of trees,& bushes. She never leaves for too long. She's been a much needed source of therapy. I haven't forced anything, but let her come to me on her own terms. She mainly stays approximately 10-15feet high on her perch, & approximately 5-8ft away. She has started swooping down to ground level whenever I'm outside enjoying the serenity of my back yard, & walks the perimeter by my side. Sometimes shell even swoop down to greet me with another smaller bird/pigeon/dove/rabbit. They're never at a struggle, & it's always done when her prey has been noticeably freshly killed by her own claw. She's not much bigger than her prey, but seems to carry the weight with ease. At times it's almost as if she's puffing her chest with pride, perched a top her prey, calmy spreading & gently flapping her wings into & away from her breast. Turning towards me, head cooked from side to side, softly & gently screeching as sh seems to be considerate me, move off her kill, step back, & study me. She has gotten as close to me as 3ft. She doesn't seemed frightened as she preforms her beautiful solo dance, & song. I only ever watch her, & after a few moments she seems to almost be talking to me in an even more gentle almost loving nature. Sometimes we sit for long periods of times enjoying the company of one another. Not always does she bring a fresh kill with her. Other times she simply stands perched on a near by branch no more than approximately 6-8ft high, & within 3-5feet of the top of my head, or eye level. She's smaller than most hawks her breed. Her vocalizationshave such a beautifultone/very complex range. She particularly gets curious when I lay in my hammock, & read out loud to her. Her favorite books tend to be ones philosophical, inspirational/motivational, or composed of deep poetically thoughts of love/justice/honesty/strength. Sometimes she'll stay for longer periods of time,& others for only long enough as if to check in...vocalizing the most tenderly when my children, & myself are the only ones around. Moving with us, as if protecting us by keeping an unmatched level of devotion to us. I've noticed that she playfully taunts our pet Rottweiler/Boxer Samson most often initiating play. So I've given her the name deliah to match. They don't bother one another, yet live in harmony & understanding. She's very protective of our little family. Smaller than most she may be, but as courageous as a mythical pheonix. Whose wings seem to cast a protective shadow over us all in ways that are nothing short of magical. She'ss graceful, regal, proud, & allows onlythee most beautiful song birds such as the robin, miniature sparrows, rocky mountain blue birds, & also humming birds to occupy her space. None of which were birds that I noticed to be in abundance of until she arrived. Tbh none of which are found within city limits. Even if rural like our city, & aren't frequently seen outside the confines of more densly secluded mtnous areas above our 6,500 elev. I don't know how she found us,& don't know how she survives the frigid -25°F to -30°F, 50-60mph wind gust, & heavy white out blizzards we get constantly. Her spirit is strong, her will is free,& whatever wonder brought us together. I don't strive to question it, but rather be grateful & humble for the gift she will forever be to my family. She is a cherished companion, & friend I only hope I'm worthy of claiming. 🙌🫶🦅🙏😌weather watchful eye
Since comparing tail coloring and sounds, I've confirmed that the very sociable hawk I've been seeing nearby is a juvenile red-tailed hawk. I thought it must be a red-tail, but wasn't sure. Yesterday, he sat in the large old oak in my front yard having a screaming contest with a mockingbird for the better part of an hour. I kept thinking one of them would get too thirsty to continue. It's been so hot and dry here (Cuero, TX) that I hope this youngster can find enough to eat. There's plenty of gophers but they're not as active with the ground so hard. Plenty of huge grasshoppers, though, and I hope he or she eats those, too.
Well I've got one or two hanging around my back yard watching the birds using the feeders I have out. Their sound is very close to what Blue Jays sound like so when the Jays make their calls right before swooping in to get their peanuts it spooks the other birds and they scatter.
I had the honor of coming to know one quite well in Western Canada through numerous times out hiking. Although with the fires and smoke an inability to hike at that time I thought I had lost the connection we had developed. To my surprize the Hawk continued to follow me and fly over my home many times. It was only last week after hiking out to the area I meet up with the Hawk that I noticed he wasn't around or were the Swifts that darted about . I spotted many Hawks in the Eastern skies but for some reason the 5 the put on shows for me were absent on my last two hikes out last week.
I live in the Okanagan, on the east side of the valley. We see Red tailed hawks quite often as well and like you we had one that showed up over our house at around 4:00PM daily. It would also call out a few times, ride the thermals and then it would head further up the east side of the valley. We also haven’t seen it since the fires started last summer.
I live in Beaverton, OR, and frequently hear the screech of a red tailed hawk. At first I thought it was a seagull misplaced from the coast, however, today I saw him or her flying around in circles over the farm next to my townhome. It was an amazing sight!
I have a red tail handing out on the block for the last two weeks. Lot's of small animals and or someone is leaving a food souce. Truly beautiful, thank you for the 411.
Took a trip to Skykomish which is about 2-3 hours from where I currently reside in. Stumbled across this video while sitting out there by the river and while watching it there came one out of the trees. Didn’t seem very happy either lol but none the less , it was awesome to see it and then make this exact same noise ! So Majestic
We live in central Florida and we’re fortunate enough to have a pair of red tail hawks build a nest in our backyard this past spring. There are several of these hawks that stay around our area. Have seen several catching snakes and a few bring them back to our yard to eat them. Beautiful birds. Really enjoy watching them. Definitely know when they are around, they are loud.
Just had one out by my backyard in Beloit, WI. Saw it flying yesterday, today it was perched on a pole. Just making its calls. Just love to see these guys that you just don't get to very often when you live in city.
We have one that lives behind our house in North Georgia. As soon as it makes this call all of the little critters take of running. It is quite funny to watch squirrels and chipmunks scatter everywhere.
I have only heard this sound in movies until today when I stepped outside and heard this call of a bird overhead. I looked up to see one of these beautiful hawks soaring way above. What an awesome way to start the day! Austin, Tx
I played this every morning for about 5 to 10 min now I have a nest and a beautiful couple of hawks that frequent my back yard could not thank you enough.
I'm in Woodstock Ga and I had a large Red tailed halk in my yard all day yesterday. We had a lot of rain and pools of water in the yard. She was gathering worms and enjoying her meal. She didn't seem to mind me watching her. Beautiful birds ! 😊
We recently have had a juvenile red tailed hawk hanging out in the treetop near our house, I love waking up every morning and hearing the calls ^^ I even see it when I leave the house for work, beautiful bird all around.
I live in Union, Ky a red tail hawk sits in a tree when my cat is on the porch. The other night it was making a loud cry and I brought my cat inside because I thought it was going to attack him
Playing this in hope they come down to my doorstep! I watch them everyday and along the river on thr weekends. Play music for them and they start flying around me closer.
I’ve been hearing that call for days. I thought it was a fawn in distress. I went looking down an alley in the wooded area and five hawks flew up out of the trees! I’m so relieved to know it’s not a deer! Thank you!
I’m sure everyone recognizes this call as the one every movie and TV show utilizes as the call of any bird of prey. The added reverb/echo makes it sound like it’s soaring high over a desert valley.
I live in Connecticut near a few small airports. We have always had ton of red tailed hawks. I remember being outside early one morning when one burst through the bushes. It had a mourning dove and ate breakfast about 30 feet away from me. It was thrilling and began my love for them.
Awesome! Wasn’t sure if I had a Red Tail or Cooper’s hawk. Used the sounds for both. I got responses from the Red Tail in our woods. So the sounds helped me clinch it. I am in Louisburg, NC. Thanks.
I see the exact same one everyday. In Louisville KY. I love him. He is amazing. I have witness him catching prey. I have had an up close experience with him. It was awesome
I'm in Tulsa Oklahoma across from airport and for 2 years on a row we have family of hawks and We get to hear them and watch them teach their babies to fly is the best
We live in the woods that is home to at least one and see it almost daily here in NW Connecticut. It brushed its wing on my front door as I was grabbing the handle to head out. I could feel it connect from the other side and I got an amazing view opening the door. It happened to be the week of my due date while I was pregnant and I will never forget that experience.
I came home yesterday around noon and a large Red Tail was hanging out on my deck. I went inside and took some awesome pics of videos of it through the window, he was maybe 3 feet away and he just chilled and let me film him. Was pretty cool to see one so close up.
Thank you for this. I have been mixing up red-tailed and red-shouldered hawks for the last several years where both live in and around my property in SC!
I saved a red-tailed hawk that had been shot and hit by a car in Buffalo Grove, Illinois in October, 2023. It was lying in the middle of a major road and other cars were just driving around it. So, I stopped, blocking a lane of traffic, wrapped it up in my jacket and took it to a wildlife rehabilitation center in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. It was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had and I will never forget it.
I live in Fayetteville, North Carolina. There is a pair over my neighborhood. They live here year around. Beautiful birds, fierce hunters. They rule the skies here.
Saw one and heard its constant calls flying above the block I live on for two days monday 08/26/2024 & tuesday 08/27/2024 South Allentown,Pa. Amazing to see & hear!!
The blue Jay's were on alert about a week ago. I thought they were excited to get food? Nope! They were all in one tree jeering and dive bombing a red shoulder Hawk! LOL Amazing to see this!
Been seeing one for past few days in a large front yard tree and today as I was walking my dog soaring overhead making the first call exactly! I’m In upstate New York. I see Cooper’s hawks often as well!
Good morning! Today in Dobbs Ferry, NY. The adult RTH had just caught either a large mouse or small rat. It then flew out of sight…and screeched twice! Beautiful!!
Saw and heard the calls of a red tailed hawk on my property today in Villanova PA. We have a lot of sharp shinned and perhaps some Cooper’s hawks hitting the bird feeders. This is the first red tailed I’ve seen in a while. We had some nesting in the back yard a couple of springs ago.
I live just west of Des Moines. We see them all the time. Had one perched on my fence a couple weeks ago, just outside the window, so I got a really good look at it from about 8 feet away.
I see them all the time where I live in a Northeast Tennessee. I see them roosting in the trees, soaring and diving around the hills. The woods here have all manner of small animals for them to eat, moles, chipmunks, squirrels, groundhogs, possum, raccoons... It's a target rich enviroment. Watched one today cruising around directly over my back patio. I think they may have a nest on my property this year because I constantly hear them, very close to the house and stationary.
I have been hearing this call around my apartment for the last week. I was looking for but never saw the hawk making the call. Today, right outside my window I heard it again. I looked out my window and in a nearby tree there was Bluejay making the sound. Tripped me out.
Got a couple not so good pics but he comes to our yard and watches the field before swooping down for dinner. Beautiful big hawk. Randolph County, West Virginia
Now I know that screeching is juvenile hawks in my yard! Took a wonderful photograph of a red tail hawk today. I see them daily in my yard in Connecticut.
For years, in Northwestern Ohio, we have had a red tailed hawk in my neighborhood. As I was getting home from work just now, I noticed NONE of our backyard birds or squirrels that frequent our feeders were out. I thought it was odd until I heard THIS call and stopped to see if I could find the hawk. Didn’t see it, but within 2 minutes one of our resident blue jays started frantically calling for about 30 seconds before taking off in the opposite direction. Now it all makes sense!
We have seen hawks from time to time near our house by the Elfin forest in Los Osos, California. I've seen one eating something while perched on the low, horizontal branches of the stunted oak right outside our house. Beautiful creatures. Thank you so much for this video! I saw something large flying a few nights ago as I was driving about an hour north of our house, and thanks to your video, I'm pretty sure it was one of these guys! I had no idea that their underside could be so light in color- very cool.
I caught an injured red tail hawk in Jonesboro ga. It was taken to the Chattahoochee rehabilitation center to get better. She has been released back out here and has actually came by wit her partner and flew right over my front yard as if to say thank u. And still flies over at least once a year
I'm sitting in my backyard right now in the Litchfield Hills / Northwest Corner of Connecticut. When the video started I wasn't sure if the sound was working...I didn't hear anything unusual. Then I realized it's because we've got myriad red-tailed hawks in our neighborhood, at least 3 of which seem to live somewhere on our property. We've also heard juvenile hawks over the years (usually only one per season, possibly two)...who just are higher-pitched. Such gorgeous creatures!
They are everywhere here in North Mississippi! I sit out on my patio and watch them all the time! I even had one land on my bird feeder platform and chow down on some whole kernel corn. I have to chase them away when they are sitting in my tree looking for unsuspecting birds and squirrels.
I'm in southern Ohio, and we've had a couple of these hawks in the backyard the last few weeks. I got some good pictures. It looked like the one was watching me yesterday when I took my dog out to relieve herself.
I see red-tails every day in Queen Creek, Arizona. There are a few different ones that hunt near my office and I get to see and hear them on my lunchtime walks.

There is a juvenile red tail that is squawking up a storm out my window, but I wouldn't have known for sure what it was without your video as most videos only have the adult call which is totally different. Appreciate the info/education! Oh yeah, live in Northeast Oklahoma, lots of red tails here.
I really hope your neighbour's got some nice fencing around his coop or them chickens are going to end up as a hawk's supper
I hear and see them daily… Jacksonville Fl. I often see them go after crows, squirrels and many stray kittens. There are several that seem to hunt with each other… with these sounds they circled above me
I have red-tailed hawks nesting on my property in McMinnville, Tennessee. They are in flight daily. The current juvenile is learning to coast and dive this week, but can frequently be heard calling to it’s mom and dad from the treetops near their nest. Such amazing creatures.
Today in Ann Arbor. It was soaring in the air and it was so loud. I don’t think I have ever heard a bird that loud before.
They are truly majestic, they've always been one of my favorite animals. One flew over head tonight calling for awhile through out the neighborhood, San Diego, CA. I've seen many in Utah, California and Wyoming. Their mating ritual is absolutely stunning and terrifying! One of the more dangerous and breathtaking mating rituals of animals.
We live in Acworth Georgia. We have Red Tail Halks around our home all the time. Today we had 9 flying all around out home. Our home has lots of trees one Core land. We just love to sit out and watch and learn from them.
How could learn how to fly and care for the Halks
Nokesville VA. They attack my chickens so I must watch carefully when they are ranging. In fact, a hawk had one of my birds down one day, and I charged across the meadow and it released it, and the bird survived, but others unfortunately have not.
Yes. Middletown, CT. I feed my birds and squirrels so when I hear that sound I run outside to shoo them away.
Me too!!!!

Saw a hawk this morning on a light post here in Kensington, Brooklyn.... 10/ 28/ 2023..
South East Idaho...I have a red-tailed hawk that showed up a little over a year ago. She lives in a tall pine right outside my back door(approximately 20ft from door way openining). My home is surrounded by several different types of trees,& bushes. She never leaves for too long. She's been a much needed source of therapy. I haven't forced anything, but let her come to me on her own terms. She mainly stays approximately 10-15feet high on her perch, & approximately 5-8ft away. She has started swooping down to ground level whenever I'm outside enjoying the serenity of my back yard, & walks the perimeter by my side. Sometimes shell even swoop down to greet me with another smaller bird/pigeon/dove/rabbit. They're never at a struggle, & it's always done when her prey has been noticeably freshly killed by her own claw. She's not much bigger than her prey, but seems to carry the weight with ease. At times it's almost as if she's puffing her chest with pride, perched a top her prey, calmy spreading & gently flapping her wings into & away from her breast. Turning towards me, head cooked from side to side, softly & gently screeching as sh seems to be considerate me, move off her kill, step back, & study me. She has gotten as close to me as 3ft. She doesn't seemed frightened as she preforms her beautiful solo dance, & song. I only ever watch her, & after a few moments she seems to almost be talking to me in an even more gentle almost loving nature. Sometimes we sit for long periods of times enjoying the company of one another. Not always does she bring a fresh kill with her. Other times she simply stands perched on a near by branch no more than approximately 6-8ft high, & within 3-5feet of the top of my head, or eye level. She's smaller than most hawks her breed. Her vocalizationshave such a beautifultone/very complex range. She particularly gets curious when I lay in my hammock, & read out loud to her. Her favorite books tend to be ones philosophical, inspirational/motivational, or composed of deep poetically thoughts of love/justice/honesty/strength. Sometimes she'll stay for longer periods of time,& others for only long enough as if to check in...vocalizing the most tenderly when my children, & myself are the only ones around. Moving with us, as if protecting us by keeping an unmatched level of devotion to us. I've noticed that she playfully taunts our pet Rottweiler/Boxer Samson most often initiating play. So I've given her the name deliah to match. They don't bother one another, yet live in harmony & understanding. She's very protective of our little family. Smaller than most she may be, but as courageous as a mythical pheonix. Whose wings seem to cast a protective shadow over us all in ways that are nothing short of magical. She'ss graceful, regal, proud, & allows onlythee most beautiful song birds such as the robin, miniature sparrows, rocky mountain blue birds, & also humming birds to occupy her space. None of which were birds that I noticed to be in abundance of until she arrived. Tbh none of which are found within city limits. Even if rural like our city, & aren't frequently seen outside the confines of more densly secluded mtnous areas above our 6,500 elev. I don't know how she found us,& don't know how she survives the frigid -25°F to -30°F, 50-60mph wind gust, & heavy white out blizzards we get constantly. Her spirit is strong, her will is free,& whatever wonder brought us together. I don't strive to question it, but rather be grateful & humble for the gift she will forever be to my family. She is a cherished companion, & friend I only hope I'm worthy of claiming. 🙌🫶🦅🙏😌weather watchful eye
Beautiful story!
Heard one today in Bellingham WA
Since comparing tail coloring and sounds, I've confirmed that the very sociable hawk I've been seeing nearby is a juvenile red-tailed hawk. I thought it must be a red-tail, but wasn't sure. Yesterday, he sat in the large old oak in my front yard having a screaming contest with a mockingbird for the better part of an hour. I kept thinking one of them would get too thirsty to continue. It's been so hot and dry here (Cuero, TX) that I hope this youngster can find enough to eat. There's plenty of gophers but they're not as active with the ground so hard. Plenty of huge grasshoppers, though, and I hope he or she eats those, too.
Mississippi checkin in
Well I've got one or two hanging around my back yard watching the birds using the feeders I have out. Their sound is very close to what Blue Jays sound like so when the Jays make their calls right before swooping in to get their peanuts it spooks the other birds and they scatter.
I had the honor of coming to know one quite well in Western Canada through numerous times out hiking. Although with the fires and smoke an inability to hike at that time I thought I had lost the connection we had developed. To my surprize the Hawk continued to follow me and fly over my home many times. It was only last week after hiking out to the area I meet up with the Hawk that I noticed he wasn't around or were the Swifts that darted about . I spotted many Hawks in the Eastern skies but for some reason the 5 the put on shows for me were absent on my last two hikes out last week.
I live in the Okanagan, on the east side of the valley. We see Red tailed hawks quite often as well and like you we had one that showed up over our house at around 4:00PM daily. It would also call out a few times, ride the thermals and then it would head further up the east side of the valley. We also haven’t seen it since the fires started last summer.
The red tailed hawks is getting some major voice cracks lmao 😂
I live in Beaverton, OR, and frequently hear the screech of a red tailed hawk. At first I thought it was a seagull misplaced from the coast, however, today I saw him or her flying around in circles over the farm next to my townhome. It was an amazing sight!
I have a red tail handing out on the block for the last two weeks. Lot's of small animals and or someone is leaving a food souce. Truly beautiful, thank you for the 411.
Took a trip to Skykomish which is about 2-3 hours from where I currently reside in. Stumbled across this video while sitting out there by the river and while watching it there came one out of the trees. Didn’t seem very happy either lol but none the less , it was awesome to see it and then make this exact same noise ! So Majestic
We live in central Florida and we’re fortunate enough to have a pair of red tail hawks build a nest in our backyard this past spring. There are several of these hawks that stay around our area. Have seen several catching snakes and a few bring them back to our yard to eat them. Beautiful birds. Really enjoy watching them. Definitely know when they are around, they are loud.
Just had one out by my backyard in Beloit, WI. Saw it flying yesterday, today it was perched on a pole. Just making its calls. Just love to see these guys that you just don't get to very often when you live in city.
We have one that lives behind our house in North Georgia. As soon as it makes this call all of the little critters take of running. It is quite funny to watch squirrels and chipmunks scatter everywhere.
I have only heard this sound in movies until today when I stepped outside and heard this call of a bird overhead. I looked up to see one of these beautiful hawks soaring way above. What an awesome way to start the day!
Austin, Tx
I played this every morning for about 5 to 10 min now I have a nest and a beautiful couple of hawks that frequent my back yard could not thank you enough.
I'm in Woodstock Ga and I had a large Red tailed halk in my yard all day yesterday. We had a lot of rain and pools of water in the yard. She was gathering worms and enjoying her meal. She didn't seem to mind me watching her. Beautiful birds ! 😊
We recently have had a juvenile red tailed hawk hanging out in the treetop near our house, I love waking up every morning and hearing the calls ^^ I even see it when I leave the house for work, beautiful bird all around.
I live in Union, Ky a red tail hawk sits in a tree when my cat is on the porch. The other night it was making a loud cry and I brought my cat inside because I thought it was going to attack him
Playing this in hope they come down to my doorstep! I watch them everyday and along the river on thr weekends. Play music for them and they start flying around me closer.
I’ve been hearing that call for days. I thought it was a fawn in distress. I went looking down an alley in the wooded area and five hawks flew up out of the trees! I’m so relieved to know it’s not a deer! Thank you!
I’m sure everyone recognizes this call as the one every movie and TV show utilizes as the call of any bird of prey. The added reverb/echo makes it sound like it’s soaring high over a desert valley.
I live in Connecticut near a few small airports. We have always had ton of red tailed hawks.
I remember being outside early one morning when one burst through the bushes. It had a mourning dove and ate breakfast about 30 feet away from me. It was thrilling and began my love for them.
Awesome! Wasn’t sure if I had a Red Tail or Cooper’s hawk. Used the sounds for both. I got responses from the Red Tail in our woods. So the sounds helped me clinch it.
I am in Louisburg, NC. Thanks.
I see the exact same one everyday. In Louisville KY. I love him. He is amazing. I have witness him catching prey. I have had an up close experience with him. It was awesome
I just heard a red tailed hawk here in Lake Elsinore California
I live in Brown County (Nashville, IN) and yes, I hear and see them very often. They are so beautiful.
I'm in Tulsa Oklahoma across from airport and for 2 years on a row we have family of hawks and We get to hear them and watch them teach their babies to fly is the best
Fairplay, Colorado - I noticed fewer birds, then started hearing the hawk - amazing birds
We live in the woods that is home to at least one and see it almost daily here in NW Connecticut. It brushed its wing on my front door as I was grabbing the handle to head out. I could feel it connect from the other side and I got an amazing view opening the door. It happened to be the week of my due date while I was pregnant and I will never forget that experience.
I came home yesterday around noon and a large Red Tail was hanging out on my deck. I went inside and took some awesome pics of videos of it through the window, he was maybe 3 feet away and he just chilled and let me film him. Was pretty cool to see one so close up.
Thank you for this. I have been mixing up red-tailed and red-shouldered hawks for the last several years where both live in and around my property in SC!
I saved a red-tailed hawk that had been shot and hit by a car in Buffalo Grove, Illinois in October, 2023. It was lying in the middle of a major road and other cars were just driving around it. So, I stopped, blocking a lane of traffic, wrapped it up in my jacket and took it to a wildlife rehabilitation center in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. It was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had and I will never forget it.
I'm so glad you did that.
you did a good thing❤
I live in Fayetteville, North Carolina. There is a pair over my neighborhood. They live here year around. Beautiful birds, fierce hunters. They rule the skies here.
I live in Toronto, ON Canada and i hear this amazing bird all the time where I’m at. I love it
I love watching the squirrels scatter in my backyard when I play this.
Saw one and heard its constant calls flying above the block I live on for two days monday 08/26/2024 & tuesday 08/27/2024 South Allentown,Pa. Amazing to see & hear!!
The blue Jay's were on alert about a week ago. I thought they were excited to get food? Nope! They were all in one tree jeering and dive bombing a red shoulder Hawk! LOL Amazing to see this!
We live in Ankeny, Iowa. We've had the pleasure of listening to this beautiful bird
Been seeing one for past few days in a large front yard tree and today as I was walking my dog soaring overhead making the first call exactly! I’m In upstate New York. I see Cooper’s hawks often as well!
Good morning! Today in Dobbs Ferry, NY. The adult RTH had just caught either a large mouse or small rat. It then flew out of sight…and screeched twice! Beautiful!!
We came here to ID a huge bird outside in our tree! This is the exact sound it made! Northern Illinois
Saw and heard the calls of a red tailed hawk on my property today in Villanova PA.
We have a lot of sharp shinned and perhaps some Cooper’s hawks hitting the bird feeders.
This is the first red tailed I’ve seen in a while. We had some nesting in the back yard a couple of springs ago.
Upstate New York, and yes we hear this all the time. Looking up, sometimes waaayyyy up, you see them effortlessly gliding in the sky!
For the first time in about 10 years I found a juvenile hawk on the property. Those guys don’t fair too well with cars. Glad to see they’re back.
Heard one yesterday in China Twp., Michigan. It just kept going on and on.
I was sitting outside on my patio in Alabama and heard the screeching. Came to this video and quickly identified it. I never even saw the bird .
I live just west of Des Moines. We see them all the time. Had one perched on my fence a couple weeks ago, just outside the window, so I got a really good look at it from about 8 feet away.
I just saw the biggest one I have ever seen today and heard it calling. Bone-chilling. I'm in Atlanta.
I see them all the time where I live in a Northeast Tennessee. I see them roosting in the trees, soaring and diving around the hills. The woods here have all manner of small animals for them to eat, moles, chipmunks, squirrels, groundhogs, possum, raccoons... It's a target rich enviroment. Watched one today cruising around directly over my back patio. I think they may have a nest on my property this year because I constantly hear them, very close to the house and stationary.
I have been hearing this call around my apartment for the last week. I was looking for but never saw the hawk making the call. Today, right outside my window I heard it again. I looked out my window and in a nearby tree there was Bluejay making the sound. Tripped me out.
Got a couple not so good pics but he comes to our yard and watches the field before swooping down for dinner. Beautiful big hawk. Randolph County, West Virginia
Now I know that screeching is juvenile hawks in my yard! Took a wonderful photograph of a red tail hawk today. I see them daily in my yard in Connecticut.
We have a nest right in ur back yard with 4-5 babies. I’ve been enjoying watching how the babies are learning to fly and hunt.
For years, in Northwestern Ohio, we have had a red tailed hawk in my neighborhood. As I was getting home from work just now, I noticed NONE of our backyard birds or squirrels that frequent our feeders were out. I thought it was odd until I heard THIS call and stopped to see if I could find the hawk. Didn’t see it, but within 2 minutes one of our resident blue jays started frantically calling for about 30 seconds before taking off in the opposite direction. Now it all makes sense!
We have seen hawks from time to time near our house by the Elfin forest in Los Osos, California. I've seen one eating something while perched on the low, horizontal branches of the stunted oak right outside our house. Beautiful creatures. Thank you so much for this video! I saw something large flying a few nights ago as I was driving about an hour north of our house, and thanks to your video, I'm pretty sure it was one of these guys! I had no idea that their underside could be so light in color- very cool.
Im in east lansing, Michigan, and the hawks are out and about! Just heard this exact call from above :)
I caught an injured red tail hawk in Jonesboro ga. It was taken to the Chattahoochee rehabilitation center to get better. She has been released back out here and has actually came by wit her partner and flew right over my front yard as if to say thank u. And still flies over at least once a year
We sit on the front porch and watch and listen to them all the time.
I live on North Vancouver Island, BC, and I've heard and seen these guys flying around. Pretty cool!
I'm sitting in my backyard right now in the Litchfield Hills / Northwest Corner of Connecticut. When the video started I wasn't sure if the sound was working...I didn't hear anything unusual. Then I realized it's because we've got myriad red-tailed hawks in our neighborhood, at least 3 of which seem to live somewhere on our property. We've also heard juvenile hawks over the years (usually only one per season, possibly two)...who just are higher-pitched. Such gorgeous creatures!
They are everywhere here in North Mississippi! I sit out on my patio and watch them all the time! I even had one land on my bird feeder platform and chow down on some whole kernel corn. I have to chase them away when they are sitting in my tree looking for unsuspecting birds and squirrels.
I'm in southern Ohio, and we've had a couple of these hawks in the backyard the last few weeks. I got some good pictures. It looked like the one was watching me yesterday when I took my dog out to relieve herself.
I see red-tails every day in Queen Creek, Arizona. There are a few different ones that hunt near my office and I get to see and hear them on my lunchtime walks.
