The red-tailed hawk is one of several large hawks that can be seen here in SCOV. This stocky hawk, with a wingspan of 49 inches, is resident in almost all of the U.S.A.; however, the Western population is the most variJack Welch photo able in looks, ranging from light to dark morphs (color variations). Unlike the Harris hawk, it hunts solo, but like them, helps thin out our rodent population. All SCOV residents are invited to join us on our field trips to learn more about the birds here in Arizona. Below are listed upcoming bird outings. If you are interested in going on any of these, contact the trip coordinator for details at least three
