Most birds of prey hunt alone. Not the Harris’s hawk: it is one of the few that hunts as a team. It lives in the deserts and scrublands of the Americas, from the southwestern United States to Argentina, in family groups of up to six or seven birds. When they spot prey, they surround it and take turns chasing it until it has no way out. And sometimes they perch on top of one another on the same post, forming little towers of hawks to get a better view. It is easy to recognize: dark brown plumage, chestnut-red shoulders and legs, and a tail with a white base and tip. Thanks to its calm temperament and intelligence, it is one of the favorite birds in falconry. A hunter that knows there is strength in numbers.
