Harris's Hawk - a photo on Flickriver

Harris's Hawk

            None other than John James Audubon himself gave this bird its name, in honor of his friend and financial supporter Edward Harris. The Harris’s Hawk is a non-migratory bird of prey that ranges from the southwestern United States, south throughout Mexico and parts of Central America, to Chile, Brazil, and Argentina in South America. A notable behavioral aspect of the Harris’s Hawk is that they hunt in cooperative teams of 2 to 7 birds, and use different team strategies depending on the type of prey. Sometimes they all converge on the prey at once. Sometimes one bird will flush the prey while the others wait in surprise ambush. Sometimes they take turns chasing the prey until it is overcome by exhaustion. Common prey includes the cottontail, jackrabbit, squirrels, quail, and bobwhite. If you think one Harris’s Hawk looks badass, imagine being a jackrabbit and facing a team of them.
