Pictured is a Harris's hawk perched on a leafless tree perch at the Santa Clara Ranch near McAllen, Texas. His demeanor appears threatening with his beak open as if ready to strike. The binomial name is Parabuteo unicinctus. Harris's hawk is notable for its behavior of hunting cooperatively in packs, while other raptors often hunt alone. Harris's hawks' social nature has been attributed to their intelligence, which makes them easy to train and has made them a popular bird for use in falconry.
