Red Tail

With a wingspan of up to 5 feet this conspicuous and fierce looking red-tailed hawk soars using the slight movement of feather tips to guide its way within thermal uplifts to search for victims. A red-tail, with its superb vision, will fold its wings against its body and power dive at speeds of up to 100 miles an hour.
