Carolina Raptor Center released two Harris's hawks in Laredo, Texas. The birds, both juveniles, were brought to CRC for treatment, rehabilitation and evaluation for release.

 

Sometimes referred to as the “wolves of the sky,” Harris’ hawks are one of the few raptors to live in groups. Cooperative hunting allows these raptors to kill larger prey than a lone hawk and they can take down mammals the size of a jackrabbit. Their wingspan is three-and-a-half to four feet and they can weigh as much as four pounds each.
