Description
A beautiful winter scene with warm tones. The hawk on the fence looking for prey as a flock of birds fly over the cold bare winter trees. I have used effects along with a texture to give the image a painterly look.
The Red-tailed Hawk is the most common hawk in North America. Previous observations have indicated that while hawks can easily mould to any surrounding, the birds prefer a habitat that is open. Hawks usually like to habitat in places like deserts and fields, probably to make it easier to find prey. Since these birds can easily live anywhere without too much problem, they can be found in mountainous plains and tropical, moist areas. Hawks have even been found in places such as Central America, the West Indies, and even Jamaica.
Starting in the hawk's early life, the bird is fed by its parents until they leave the nest for good.[4] The young hawk, while still in its fledgling phase, will leave its nest as early as six weeks old. Once the bird is older it begins its ancestral instinct to hunt. The hawk makes kills of its prospective meals with its claws as opposed to other predator birds such as the falcon. The falcon uses its claws to catch the prey but kills the small animal with its mouth instead of its claws, like the hawk.[8] The hawk's preferred time for hunting is usually just before nightfall when the daylight begins to lessen.[5] Even though the hawk is known for being a violent predator, the bird is actually on the peaceful side.[8] The hawk's main way of transportation is flying. When it flies, the hawk flaps its wings rapidly, and then uses that momentum to glide smoothly and gracefully through the air.[7]
The idea of flocking during migration has been closely analyzed, and there is a conclusion that it is a commutative tool used by birds and other animals to increase survival. It has become very clear to observers that a bird traveling in a flock has a greater chance of survival than if it made the journey alone. Another word used in the Unit
