Beautiful Free Flying Harris Hawk.
The
Harris's Hawk or
Harris Hawk (
Parabuteo unicinctus) formerly known as the
Bay-winged Hawk or
Dusky Hawk, is a medium-large
bird of prey which breeds from the
southwestern United States south to
Chile and central
Argentina. Birds are sometimes reported at large in
Western Europe, especially
Britain, but it is a popular species in
falconry and these records almost certainly all refer to escapes from
captivity.
