Red Shouldered Hawk














The Red Shouldered Hawk is a beautiful bird of prey that you can see just about everywhere in the USA. This bird's diet consists of turtles,snakes,large insects,mice and other small mammals.They build their nests at a major fork of a tree and they have hatch 3 to 4 eggs which have an incubation period of about a month. The new borns are usually out of the nest within 6 weeks.

On a personal note this is a great bird to take in picture, you can sense a bit of a majesty in them. These photos above are all of young red shouldered hawks. I used a Nikon Coolpix p80 to capture them at the Gemini Springs Park, Debary, Florida
