Birds of Kentucky: Red Tailed Hawk



2007-03-24 - Louisville, KY - Photo by Pen. Red Tailed Hawks are listed by Sibley's as "uncommon but widespread." However, they are frequently spotted soaring along Hwy 704 in Adair County. It is hard to get as close to them in the wild as at the Louisville Zoo, where you can walk right up for a portrait.
