Here are just a few that spend time in North America.

Hunting starts with watching for prey
while flying high in the air, low over the
ground, or waiting on a perch. Some hawks can see ultraviolet light,
which humans cant see. |

Some hawks can see ultraviolet light,
which humans cant see. The urine and
feces (pee and poop) some rodents mark
their tracks with glow like a map
showing where they are.

Once a meal is spotted, many hawks will
tuck in their wings and dive or stoop
straight down at their prey. |

After a hawk has found a mate, it is
time to build a nest.

Nests are
usually made of sticks and twigs and
lined with soft materials like grass,
leaves, or even seaweed. |
