Harris's Hawk

The bird is called a Harris's Hawk, which is a raptor that can be found in South America, Central America and the far south of the US. The bird is unlike most birds of prey, in that they often hunt in packs. They can also run fast on the ground if necessary. They're also a favourite for falconers due to their intelligence.

This picture I drew is based on a photograph that my hubby took when we both visited Huxley's Bird of Prey Centre in Horsham. I also had the pleasure of flying this bird. It was the first bird that I ever flew. I think its name was Gizmo, and the photograph and this picture might well be of him.

“Meet our Harris Hawk Ambassador, Trouble. Isn’t he a beautiful bird? A cool fact about Harris Hawks is that they hunt and travel in groups and sometimes even walk or run along the ground when hunting.”

HARRIS HAWK Parabuteo unicinctus ©Laura Quick As with all birds of prey, Harris’s hawks find prey by using their exceptional vision. Unlike other raptors, however, Harris’s hawks are known to hunt cooperatively, especially in arid areas. This behavior increases the chance of a successful hunt. One bird typically flushes the prey out of hiding and the others pursue it. Harris’s hawks living in the savanna areas of South America behave more like typical raptors and hunt alone. They also inhabit semi-dry and arid country, primarily in the southwestern U.S., Mexico, and Central America. Female Harris’s hawks mate with two males, both of whom (on the chance the offspring are theirs) will contribute food and help raise the young. Sexual dimorphism in this species is pronounced—females are much larger than males. #harrishawk #parabuteounicinctus #©lauraquick #sexuallydimorphic #femalesmuchbigger #cooperativehunters #birdsofprey #hawks #fast #birdsofinstagram #twomates #maleshelpraiseyoung #lazoo #birds #animals #losangeleszooandbotanicalgardens #losangeleszoo #nature #naturephotography #losangelesphotographer https://www.instagram.com/p/B9j7AILHa3j/?igshid=1jj0zhpjgdo1
