A majestic raptor, REDTAIL HAWK is depicted life size landing on a weatherworn pine scrub often found in the marsh. A very adaptable bird, the Red-tailed Hawk is usually found in grasslands or marsh- shrub habitats and ranges throughout North America to central Alaska and northern Canada, and south as far as the mountains of Panama. The sport of falconry has been practiced in Asia and Egypt since 3000 BC as a result of the hawk’s extremely acute eye sight, 8 times more powerful than a human's, which makes the bird ideal for hunting.
