Here's a little Friday fun, but you probably don't want to be listening with headphones... We've been trying to get a good video of one of our red-tailed hawks screaming, specifically Alula who is usually quite vocal and has a beautiful, raspy call. Unfortunately, whenever she sees the camera she tends to go quiet. We had a long filming session the other day to try and catch it, but she only screamed when someone else was talking, so this is the best we got :) | The Raptor Center

9K views · 226 reactions | A couple red-tailed hawks fighting over the remains of a deer carcass. The 1st to arrive is an adult bird, but is chased off by a younger one. The behavior you see of it opening its wings is known as mantling. This is an attempt to hide its meal from other birds. If you turn up your volume, you'll hear the adult screaming overhead. Be sure to watch to the end to see the slomo as the adult comes back to chase away junior! #prettycool | Fish Guy Photos | Facebook

Red-tailed Hawks in North American do between 60% - 80% of their hunting from an elevated perch. They visually search the terrain below for prey. We love this video from Mick Thompson that really captures the moment! [Image Description: A Red-tailed Hawk perches on a tree branch, its eyes darting back and forth as it looks at the ground below. Then the bird takes off. We then see another angle of the bird as it takes off in slow motion.] | Bird Alliance of Oregon
