Harris's Hawk
The Harris’s hawk is one we’ve seen on this blog before. They’re a very social hawk, often hunting and nesting in groups. They have even been known to come to one another’s aid if they got injured. Three hawks is the usual number for a nest, with one female and two males assisting raising the chicks. Learn More!
Common Raven
The common raven is a very smart bird. They have even been found to be drawn to gunshot sounds, as they know hunters will often kill animals. People have always been fascinated by ravens, and in London it’s said that if the ravens of London tower ever leave the whole British empire will crumble! They’re also seen as tricksters in Pacific Northwest Native American tribes. In one myth, they are told to have brought fire to people by stealing the sun. Learn More! Much More
