Red Shouldered Hawk

By

We found this cool feather August 20, 2014 at the same time the Blue Jay feather was found. The Blue Jay imitates the Red Shouldered Hawk, I wonder if they had a conflict the day before?! The Red Shouldered Hawk(Buteo lineatus) are common to deciduous wetlands and the noisiest of the hawk family. They eat smaller birds like doves and bugs like grasshoppers and crickets.

A cool resource to look up different feathers is on U.S. Fish And Wildlife’s Website
