Every morning we let our cat out to just hang out for a few hours outside. I usually call her in or she's at the door meowing. I saw her sitting by the door but she wasn't making a sound. She looked petrified. I opened the door and she zoomed inside. On the fence maybe 15 ft away was a pretty big red-tailed hawk just staring at her. Poor thing was afraid to make a sound lol
Red tails might eat a cat lol it's not as uncommon as the guy made it out to be in the video, it's not their preferred prey and cats can fight back pretty hard but red tail's talons can easily kill a cat. They're a powerful bird, they're one of the bigger Buteos (hawks).
In movies all eagle calls are red tailed hawks, all areas away from civilisation have a loon and every jungle has kookaburras even though these have very specific habitats
Loon calls also occasionally get used for cranes and other birds. If there's a big cat on screen, there is an 80% chance they will either roar like a tiger, leopard, or cougar The sound used for every frog is a pacific tree frog, which ribbits
As a kid in Kansas I spent a lot of time on farm tractors (pre- cabs, air conditioning & radios) so I passed the time watching nature. I got to know individual red tails. One in particular reminded me of a stunt pilot or jet jockey. It would dive, bank, race across the sky only to make a tight u-turn & start over again. It just seemed to love flying - very distinctive from other red tails. Another could never seem to figure how to land in a plowed field. More times than not it would stumble on a clod and fall flat on it's face! Now, 65 years later, I still take rides to the country & watch the hawks for hours.
They sound very similar to Blue Jay calls so when an actual Jay is getting ready to swoop down to one of my feeders for peanuts their calls really spook the other birds because it sounds like a Red Tailed Hawk which I have also seen swooping through my yard or circling overhead.
Eagles sound majestic, but everyone wants them to sound like hawks. Kinda wish people could just appreciate eagles' natural sound, rather than pretending to sound the way we want them to
@@jshdfgsidfyuug1894 Sorry mate but Eagle doesn't sound like majestic. Their Appearance and Looks are totally different to their voices. It's like most mis matched Look to Tone ever....The Hawk sound is what Eagle is missing to be complete
Had one of these birds fall injured into one of my horses stalls this morning. Beautiful bird up close, despite seeing it and its mate fly around every day. Called a rescue out to retrieve it, and after a few hours they called back and said it was a bit underweight, dehydrated, but otherwise unhurt. They will bring it back to my property and release it when it is healthy enough to be released.
@@curbozerboomer1773 I have no problem with animals doing what they do naturally. They are part of nature and are behaving accordingly. There's nothing morally wrong with it at all. I can feel sorry for their prey, but all animals have to eat, and many are designed to eat other animals.
I’ve noticed birds of prey are like dogs. They stick to an area and claim it. I had a chicken hawk who lived in my yard for 5 years, but has recently passed away during the winter. Now this summer I have red-tail hawk cawing around above a patch of woods instead. Overlooking the fields around it.
In Lake Forest, Ca, cold and windy today - perfect Hawk weather! About 20 of the Red Tails nest in the eucalyptus trees across the street. Filmed some of their acrobatics today. So beautiful in the sun, they seemed attracted to the lone human staring up at them. Embrace nature and it’s delicate balance….
I do a hike (scramble) in Red Rock Canyon (20 miles west of Las Vegas) frequently. Every time I do the hike a red tail hawk flies over me. At first he/she was about 80 feet above me. Now, he/she is only 20 feet above me and passes over me several times.
I went to a little bbq today at Forsyth Park, Vancouver (Surrey) British Columbia and a little black cat crossed my path to hunt in the grasses and trees of the park, around 11.a.m. on a clear boiling hot day. Around noon, when everyone was guzzling their bbq, I heard above the shrill so familiar to me, but never seen. I was absolutely thrilled to see far above, two red tailed hawks wheeling and circling around, the first time I have ever seen any. Though they were very far above, I could identify not just their shriek but that blunt cut tail and curved feathers on the wing tips. Perhaps they spotted the black cat, or the burgers on the bbq! Anyway, it just made my day. Wunderbar.
0:39 I was discing a field and a red tailed hawk swooped down and picked up a snake that had to be 5' long. It flew around whipping it about. I first thought it was just excited and showing off. Later, I realized it was likely trying to kill it so it could land and eat it.
I live next to a DNR reserve area. Many species of raptors in my own back yard, so to speak (my propterty extends into the wetland). Red Tails and Red Shoulders are very common in my area, along with Bald Eagles and Falcons. I love my place in the country...
I knew the call was a hawk's, of course,so I looked up immediately.At the top of a nearby tree, I saw the movement,Then it's gliding path overhead revealed white belly, black tipped wings and the red tail.Its prolonged flight over the water offered a bolt of joy to my heart. Once it flew away, I ran to the computer to verify my guess at its identity and found your site So auspicious this sighting in the sunshine over beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee a day before my dad's birthday, as it was one of his favorite birds. An homage to Dad's best aspect, his love for the outdoors and God's creatures, especially the red tailed hawk..
It's amazing to see them hunt with such precision! We live in rural N Utah & when the fields are cut it's a buffet for all raptors in the area. They eat well. 😉

I'd love to be in ontario because not only are there red tailed hawks but if you live in a forested area there are Red Shouldered hawks which are one of the most interesting and most beautiful hawks
@@lrn_news9171 Yeah I'm pretty sure I've seen red shouldered hawks but not very often. Right now we have kestrels nesting somewhere on my block because I always see and hear them. We also see a lot of Northern Saw-whet in the summer, and of course turkey vultures. Another raptor that Ontario is under-rated for is bald eagles. I've seen them occasionally around Lake Ontario, but further north their population has rebounded to the point where they're very common. I lived in Thunder Bay for a few years recently and I'd have like a 50% chance of seeing them whenever I'd go hiking to the right locations (ex wooded areas with cliffs and water nearby, all of which there is an abundance in the Thunder Bay region). I've seen bald eagles several dozen times there, including a couple times flying over my house.
@@Lochness19 I live in the BC interior and bald eagles are incredibly common here, best place to locate them is at the landfill funnily enough. And yes, Red shouldered hawks are more difficult to spot because they typically prefer heavily forested areas, typically hardwood forests. They are rarely seen in open areas near humans unless it's a heavily wooded suburb. Red tails on the other hand can even be seen inside large cities. In my area I am attempting to locate two other types of Buteos, one is Swainson's and Ferruginous hawk, the latter is the largest buteo in north america and prefer open areas, prairies and semi arid areas. Also trying to locate Prairie falcons, these three raptor species are quite uncommon here. Red tails are common, so are bald eagles, especially Ospreys.
@@Lochness19 Where I used to live on st joseph island ontario, I've seen a breeding pair of red shoulders, they're incredibly uncommon there despite the availability of preferred breeding grounds, lots of hardwood forests, oak and maple. Apparently in southern ontario their population declined sharply due to clearing of land but good news is that they seem to be moving further north.
We plan our videos months in advance, so it's difficult to know exact timing for when certain animals will show up. We will definitely be doing it in the future, though. =)
We had two kittens next door that were not being looked after ...One day I heard the birds going off and went outside to see that a Red Tail had gotten one ... It turned into the wind and flew within 10' right by me carrying the kitten.. WOW .... A few day later the same thing happen .. I was ready with my camera and got pictures of the 2nd one being taken ... Awesome sight to behold of this large Red Tail up close ... And before anyone goes off on me on why I didn't stop it ... I'm just a witness to nature in action and understood the Hawk does not make distinction between a rabbit and cat ...
I get ya survival of the fittest os the most basic rule of nature the hawks gotta eat and the kitten was just easy pray at the wrong time wrong place only there owner if they had one has the right o deny this.
I have red tails hawks that circle my house all the time. Just five were today. Do you think my 4lb poodle is at risk? I set out three decoy owls hoping to keep them away from my dog. Thanks
If you have any concerns over the safety of your pup I would recommend talking to your veterinarian about it and come up with a plan that works for everyone. Best of luck!
IDK, but one of my neighbors had a Yorkie carried off by one supposedly. Admittedly, said Yorkie was probably about as heavy as a fart on the wind but still... Hopefully, your poodle stays safe and spoilt rotten.
Question. Why are the Buteo genus birds called Hawks in the US? While in other parts of the world it still is called Buzzard. When I was young it was extremely confusing for me. I clearly could see these are Buzzards. When did this confusion started in America? Why and How? There are two genus Accipter (Hawks / sparrow hawks) and Buteo (Buzzards)
This is one of those situations where both are right and wrong depending on perspective. It mostly has to do with colonizers naming birds with similar looks or similar behaviors the same as the birds they already knew from back home (even though they were different birds entirely). This article goes a little more into the discussion: www.thespruce.com/buzzards-vs-vultures-4171318 Thanks for watching!
I have witnessed many times, that several crows will follow a hawk, harassing it, I suppose to drive it away from their nesting places...Crows have balls!
We had rabbits, ground hogs, squirrels etc. all of which lived in our section of the city. This summer, two red tail hawks moved in the neighbourhood and set up a nest on a high rise apartment building. We no longer have rabbits, ground hogs etc. in our section of the city. In fact game got so small the hawks started stealing baby birds from nests to eat. By September, they moved back into the country. Thank God they did. Hawks have also been known to attack small dogs. So I was extremely happy when they left my neighbourhood.
The story of the Red Tail Hawk and the white cat. CAT DEAD! I even got it on video the Hawk flying from pole to pole to get away from crows that were chasing her.
Every morning we let our cat out to just hang out for a few hours outside. I usually call her in or she's at the door meowing. I saw her sitting by the door but she wasn't making a sound. She looked petrified. I opened the door and she zoomed inside. On the fence maybe 15 ft away was a pretty big red-tailed hawk just staring at her. Poor thing was afraid to make a sound lol
Ahh that sounds scary for everyone! Except maybe the hawk 👀

In movies all eagle calls are red tailed hawks, all areas away from civilisation have a loon and every jungle has kookaburras even though these have very specific habitats
Some movies like Spirit Stallion of the Cimmarron and Brother Bear do use the right eagle sound.
Loon calls also occasionally get used for cranes and other birds.
If there's a big cat on screen, there is an 80% chance they will either roar like a tiger, leopard, or cougar
The sound used for every frog is a pacific tree frog, which ribbits
As a kid in Kansas I spent a lot of time on farm tractors (pre- cabs, air conditioning & radios) so I passed the time watching nature. I got to know individual red tails. One in particular reminded me of a stunt pilot or jet jockey. It would dive, bank, race across the sky only to make a tight u-turn & start over again. It just seemed to love flying - very distinctive from other red tails. Another could never seem to figure how to land in a plowed field. More times than not it would stumble on a clod and fall flat on it's face! Now, 65 years later, I still take rides to the country & watch the hawks for hours.
That sounds so relaxing ❤
You write well. Maybe you can publish about these individuals.

I remember seeing one getting chased by a couple of crows
Yes I've seen that before, too! It's amazing to watch!

Do hawks like cold weather?
Are hawks more likely to be found when its cold out?
The max weight suggested of 4.5 pounds is way off. I've seen them upwards of 8 pounds. The size of Jake turkeys and bigger. Much larger than my head.
are they closely related to Harris hawks?
