Red-tailed Hawk:
|
"... I observe no difference between the Hawk of this Coast and those of the Atlantic. I have observed the large brown Hawk [most likely the Red-tailed Hawk], the Small or Sparrow hawk
[American Kestrel], and a hawk of an intermediate Size with a long tail and blewish coloured wings, remarkably Swift in flight and very ferce. Sometimes called in the Un. States the hen Hawk [Northern Harrier].
those birds Seam to be common to every part of this Country in greater or smaller numbers, and the Hawks, Crows, and ravins build their nests is great numbers along the high & inaxcessable clifts of the Columbia, and Lewis's rivers when we passd along them. ..."
[Captain William Clark, March 3, 1806, while at Fort Clatsop]
