Red-tailed Hawk
(Buteo jamaicensis)
Colloquially known as the "Chicken Hawk" along with three other types of the species, the Red-tailed Hawk rarely preys on full-size chickens, preferring to prey instead upon smaller, more catchable creatures, of which there is an ample supply in most of its North American range. In places close to large bodies of water, it will even partake of seafood.
