The Osprey is another beautiful member of the raptor family. Quite widespread around the world, they are located on all continents except for Antarctica.

87Microsoft Scam - They've Got Your Number

80Birds of Prey - The Red Tail Hawk
As one of the most common hawks in North America most of us have probably at one time or another seen one of these majestic birds perched high atop a tree. We are fortunate here in western Massachusetts to have numerous Red Tail Hawks residing in our area and they are a joy to watch whether they are soaring on a current high above us or perched on a tree limb scanning the horizon for their next meal.
