Red-tailed Hawk Skull - The red-tailed hawk ranges from Alaska south throughout Canada and the United States and in to Central America. With its acute eyesight, a sharp hooked beak and powerful talons, this species is an impressive predator. Red-tails eat a variety of small rodents, rabbits, reptiles, and carrion. This species is often wrongly referred to as a "chicken hawk," although it rarely preys on chickens.
