About this Design

Red-Tailed Hawk. This design features one of North America's most iconic and widespread raptors surveying its domain with that characteristic intensity that makes these birds so captivating. It's a scene familiar to anyone who's driven a highway, walked a rural road, or scanned telephone poles and fence lines for that telltale silhouette. And yes, this is indeed Hollywood's favorite bird impersonator, the Red-tailed Hawk's piercing scream is the sound effect dubbed over nearly every other raptor appearance in movies and TV, making it the raptor world's most overworked and underappreciated voiceover artist.

About the Red-Tailed Hawk

The Red-tailed Hawk is one of North America's most common and adaptable raptors, found in diverse habitats from deserts and grasslands to forests and urban areas across the continent. These powerful hunters are known for their broad, rounded wings, distinctive brick-red tail (in adults), and their iconic screaming call that's become the go-to "raptor sound" in Hollywood, a fact that amuses birders and frustrates the hawks who never get proper credit for their vocal work. Red-tailed Hawks are skilled hunters that soar on thermals while scanning for prey, and their ability to thrive in both wild and human-altered landscapes has made them one of the most frequently observed raptors, often seen perched on highway signs and telephone poles.

Perfect For

Raptor enthusiasts who appreciate the Red-tailed Hawk's hunting prowess and ubiquity, birders who never tire of watching these masters of the sky, hawk watchers who've learned to scan every fence post and utility pole, and anyone who's ever had to explain that no, that's not the sound a Bald Eagle makes, it's actually a Red-tailed Hawk (you're welcome, Hollywood). Wear it on birding expeditions when you're scanning for raptors, casual outings when you want to rep one of North America's most magnificent birds, hawk watch events where everyone will appreciate the design, or anywhere you want to celebrate a bird that's both common enough to see regularly and magnificent enough to stop you in your tracks every single time.
