    hi Tiffany, welcome to JungleDragon! Here's 2 starter tips:

    - Please describe your photos, you can do so using the "Edit details" button below the photo. Try to give photos a meaningful title and description

    - If you know the species, please try to identify it using the "identify species" button on the right.

    It is very important in JungleDragon to describe your photos, without it, almost nobody will ever see it. Good luck, and let me know if you have any questions.     Posted 11 years ago

The Red-tailed Hawk

The red-tailed hawk is a bird of prey, one of three species colloquially known in the United States as the "chickenhawk," though it rarely preys on standard sized chickens. It breeds throughout most of North America, from western Alaska and northern Canada to as far south as Panama and the West Indies, and is one of the most common buteos in North America.
