BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE i10/30/12 9:24 PM Red-tailed Hawk, Buteo jamaicensis The red-tailed hawk searches for a wide variety of small prey, capturing them by swooping from the air or diving from a stationary perch. Buteos like the red-tailed hawk are adapted for predation, with broad wings and tail for soaring fl ight, curved talons for grasping prey, large forward-rotated eyes for acute long-distance vision, and a sharp tearing beak. The red-tailed hawk s colouration, which is darker above and paler underneath, camoufl ages it from below. The red-tailed hawk s opportunistic hunting skills have helped it to be the most widely distributed hawk in North America.
