East Brunswick Patch: Red-Tailed Hawk, an incredible bird


Photo Credit: Dave Moskowitz

From East Brunswick Patch: The other day I was driving into my neighborhood on a rainy dreary afternoon and saw a very wet Red-tailed hawk sitting on my neighbor's fence. Because I was in the car, it didn't seem to mind that I stopped right next to it and took a picture. I was able to get a similar photo from my car last year of a Red-tailed hawk that had killed a squirrel on the lawn at the Senior Center. For some reason, cars seem to work as the perfect wildlife observation blind allowing for a much closer look than would be tolerated otherwise. The Red-tailed hawk is our most common hawk in town and can often be seen soaring above East Brunswick. It is relatively easy to identify in flight because as the common name suggests it has a red tail which is easily seen as it soars.
