The Harris Hawk is a bird of prey that lives from the southwestern United States to Chile and central Argentina. Unlike most raptors, who only come together for breeding and migration, Harris Hawks hunt in groups of two to six. This behavior is an adaptation to the desert climate in which they live and it allows them to take down larger prey, such as hares.

Harris Hawks are used a lot in falconry because of their easy going nature. In European towns they are used to scare Pigeons and Starlings. They are also used at airports to scare birds away from runways to reduce the risk of birdstrikes with planes.

We’re so happy to see that all five of Mariah and Kaver’s eggs have now hatched, just in time for Mother’s Day! The fifth egg hatched yesterday afternoon. This is an exciting time to watch the Rochester Falconcam - the five fluffy eyases need to grow so Mariah and Kaver will be busy feeding five hungry beaks.
