Male and female hawks raise their babies <i>together</i>. Hawks eat little animals, reptiles, insects, fish, and other birds. When a hawk seeks its prey it swoops down like a bullet and grabs it. That's really fast! Some hawks eat their prey whole, then spit up pellets, small balls, of bones, feathers, fur. Hawks build their nest in trees, cliffs, or even on the ground. The female hawk lays one to three eggs, then she keeps the eggs warm and the male hawk brings food to the female until the eggs hatch. Every year, some hawks migrate to warmer places. sometimes, only the young hawks migrate <i>on their own</i>. Some hawks migrate in flocks or a group or some hawks migrate independent. Most hawks live in North America, and the most common type of hawk is the red-tailed hawk. The red-tailed hawk lives in countries, but mostly in woodlands. The <i>northern harrier</i> and the goshawk live throughout the northern hemi-sphere. Those were the facts I wanted you to know.<br /><br />Your student,<br />CalebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-42889466907696426152010-02-01T12:16:31.593-08:002010-02-01T12:16:31.593-08:00Dear Mrs. Yollis,
