Description

When: October 16, 2020

Where: Landgoed Hoenderdaell Anna Paulowna, The Netherlands


Despite the Red-Tailed Hawk actually being a well-known Bird, they're really not very common in Dutch zoos. Which is why it was exceptionally cool not to merely see this beauty out in the aviary, but also fly in the Bird demo. She is strong-willed for sure, which made it really beautiful to watch her fly.


Species: Red-Tailed Hawk (Roodstaartbuizerd)

Latin name: Buteo Jamaicensis

Originates from North America, though travels as south as Panama and the West Indies.

Current status: Least Concern

Did you know:

… It is one of the most common Buteos of North America, and very often used in falconry in these regions.

… It is one of 3 species colloquially known in the United States as the “Chickenhawk”, though it rarely preys on standard size chickens.

We have Red Tailed hawks over here in the wild, ie around the neighborhood. Love watching them fly.
