Juvenile Harris Hawk courtesy of the Raptor Conservancy of Virginia.

These birds range from the desert southwest of the United States down to Chile and Argentina. They are very fast and highly maneuverable. Rabbits, even given a substantial headstart, are not likely to escape.

One of the most interesting facts about these birds is they are among the only raptors to hunt in groups. In such a group, they have been known to take down jackrabbits… however jackrabbits have also been known to kill the hawks.
