A bird of prey that breeds throughout North America from Western Alaska and Northern Canada to Panama and the West Indies. They can weigh between 1.5 to 3.5 pounds measure 18-26 inches in length and a wingspan of 43-57 inches.
Many hawks are called chicken hawks in the United States. They include, Cooper's hawk, goshawk, redtailed hawk and red shouldered hawk. The name really shouldn't apply, as these hawks rarely molest poultry.

Depending on the species of hawk the size of prey can vary greatly. Also, on occasion a bird of prey will do into a condition call yarrick, where they will attack and even kill prey much larger than they are. A redtailed hawk can take a Canadian goose. Larger birds of prey, like Golden Eagles, will kill deer.

Red-tailed hawks often roost in trees or on high perches, such as utility poles or cliffs. They prefer tall structures that provide a good vantage point for hunting and keeping an eye on their surroundings.

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.
