Hawks are birds of prey known for their sharp eyesight and powerful hunting skills. They belong to the family Accipitridae and can be found in various habitats around the world, from forests to open fields. Hawks primarily feed on small mammals, birds, and reptiles, using their keen vision to spot prey from great distances. These birds are often recognized by their strong, curved beaks and sharp talons, which help them catch and kill their food. Some common types of hawks include the Red-tailed Hawk and the Cooper's Hawk. Hawks play an important role in maintaining the balance of their ecosystems by controlling the populations of their prey.
