"Kiya"
Red Shouldered Hawk
Buteo linneatus

The red-shouldered hawk’s name reflects its reddish-colored shoulders and chest.  It also has red feathers lining the underside of its wings, and adults have a very conspicuous black and white striped tail.  One of our most striking hawks, it is found primarily in the southeastern United States. These birds are very vocal, with a descending scream that sounds like “kee-er.”
