Red-shouldered hawks have an unusual courtship ritual. They will fly together and occasionally roll over on their backs. They can be seen flying upside down for short distances!
They build their nests high in the trees during the winter or early spring and often decorate their nests with various green plants.
These hawks are not picky eaters! Just about any small mammal, reptile, large insect, and even other birds can be part of their meal.
In flight, all ages and plumages display translucent white crescents at the wing tips.
The red-shouldered hawk is named for its reddish brown shoulder patches.
