Prey — Birds Of

Crows often mob Goshawks (a signal to start looking for them). Other birds may go silent when a raptor is near.

Notice if the bird soars ( Buteos ), flaps rapidly then glides ( Accipiters ), or has a "wobble" while flying ( Turkey Vultures ).

Focus on wing shape, tail length, and overall profile (e.g., Accipiters have rounded wings and long tails, while Buteos have broad wings).

Small-to-medium, long-tailed forest hunters with short, rounded wings, often hunting by speed and ambush.
