Harris Hawk. "parabuteo unicintus".
Also known as the chicken hawk in the USA. The Harris Hawk is found
from the Southwestern USA, to Central Chile and Central Argentina.
We use
these birds at Highland Falconry and always get an enjoyable day with
them. They are very intelligent birds and will take numerous quarry, from
squirrel, rabbit, pheasant, duck, and some will also take the odd hare. They
usually have between 2 and 4 eggs and will hatch at about 30 day's. The young
will leave the nest at 6 weeks old.
