Did you know, Red-tailed Hawks, like Jake, have a powerful, raspy scream that Hollywood loves to use? Whenever you hear a shrill raptor cry in movies or TV shows, it's often a Red-tailed Hawk, no matter what species is on screen. Check out this video of Jake demonstrating the iconic sound! #NatureSounds #BirdsofPrey #DidYouKnow | Alaska Raptor Center

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
