Pictured is a Harris's hawk perched atop a small tree at the Santa Clara Ranch near McAllen, Texas. The binomial name is Parabuteo unicinctus. This hawk is notable for its behavior of hunting cooperatively in packs, while other raptors often hunt alone. The hawks social nature has been attributed to their intelligence, which make them easy to train and has made them a popular bird for use in falconry.
