Info: Live streaming webcam showing red-tailed hawks nesting at the U.S. Steel Corporation Mon Valley Works–Irvin Plant, in Pennsylvania. The nest is located along the Monongahela River, where the red-tailed hawks can often be seen hunting.

More info: Hawks are grouped into four basic types depending on their physical features and food preferences: accipiters, buteos, falcons and harriers. Buteos are larger-bodied hawks with broad, rounded wings and broad, fanned tails. In Pennsylvania, they include red-tailed, red-shouldered, broad-winged and rough-legged hawks.

Red-tails do not get their rusty-colored tail until they are several years old. But immature birds can be identified by the “belly band” field mark that all red-tails possess.
