Yes, many hawks do stay in New York State for the winter. Today, Jan. 17. 2011, I amused myself by counting hawks and eagles I could easily spot along I-88 as we traveled through Schoharie, Otsego, and Delaware counties. I counted 19 hawks of various types, and 4 bald eagles (probably two birds, but I saw them on the way down and also on the way back, in a different spot). Most prevalent hawks are the red tails.
They can exercise and run around the neighborhood
why do red tailed hawks leave one liver in the body of its food
Yes, they mainly stay up in the emergent layer - the top layer of a rainforest.
Yes, the Neighborhood Watch is a volunteer group. No one will receive legal sanctions for not partaking in the neighborhood watch.
Depends on the neighborhood. If you live in a bad neighborhood, wait until the child is 13 or 14. If you live in a good neighborhood, then the minimum should be ten if they know what to do in an emergency. There is no set age by the law, however.
No they are one of the most abundant hawks in North America. Listed as least concern.
Just yesterday, 10-21-2012, I saw a group of approximately 30 redtailed hawks rising together in one group. One landed in the backyard and stared my german shepherd down then flew off. I have never seen them in a group before like this before.
Their instinct tells them to lie very still in the grass so they will not be seen by hawks flying overhead.
