Red-shouldered Hawks (Buteo lineatus) are fairly easy to identify by sound. Listen for a LOUD “kee-ahh,” with the second note descending in pitch.
The “kee-aah” call is often repeated. It is very loud and can be heard from many miles away.
Red-shouldered Hawks are most often heard between April and June during the breeding season. They use their calls to attract females and defend territory.
These raptors are common in the eastern half of North America. Interestingly, there is also a population that lives on the west coast.
Distinctly marked, Red-shouldered Hawks have a barred rufous chest, mostly white underwings, a strongly banded tail, and of course, red shoulders that are visible when perched.
Red-shouldered Hawks are primarily forest dwellers. These raptors are common in suburban areas where houses have been mixed into woodlands.
Length: 15-19 inches / 38-48 cm
Weight: 1.1-1.9 lbs. / 500-860 gm
Wingspan: 38-42 inches / 96-107 cm

Keep in mind that bluejays are master impersonators of raptors. I constantly hear them mimic red shouldered hawks, Cooper's Hawks, and recently I've heard them as Mississippi Kites! If you hear a red shouldered hawk call coming from a tree and don't see a large bird, chances are it's a bluejay!

@La_concha_tu_madre 6 месяцев назад

This comment omg! I really thought I was the only one hearing bluejays mimicking red shouldered hawks like I thought this only happened in my backyard wow why do they do this? I haven't heard them mimicking any other birds of prey but that's really interesting

@mirandabeaudry7936 3 месяца назад

Thank you for this comment! We heard the loud call and used a bird ID app from inside and it said red tailed hawk, but upon excitedly looking outside I couldn’t see any. However there was a blue jay digging in one of my raised bed gardens right outside the window. Interesting!

@@mirandabeaudry7936It’s amazing how much a Blue Jay can make themselves sound like Red Shoulders!

We had a family of Red Shoulders in a Sycamore tree in Alpine,CA. One season, they had 2 chick's and fed both of them. They were awesome parents. I watched them fledge and I hope both survived. A memory I will never forget.

@blackberrycatcrafts Год назад

I live in Tennessee, in the foothills near the edge of the Cherokee National Forest. I hear these quite frequently, but I’ve never seen one until today! It was in a field at the edge of the woods, bent down drinking from a small marshy stream in the grass. It was beautiful, and definitely the highlight of my day!

@lanedehart6543 Год назад

I just watched two males fighting on the hillside behind my house. This helped me identify them because of their high pitched cries. I live in a coastal town within Los Angeles, CA. We have several types of hawks but these were smaller than what I typically see so I wasn’t entirely sure. Thanks for the video!

I’m in SE Massachusetts right on the coast & I’ve had a nest(s) in the woods behind me for over a dozen years. I hear them every morning just like my alarm & the other day saw 3 of them perched in different trees having a conversation. They really are amazing!

@williamsomers1536 26 дней назад

Strafford, New Hampshire. NH is almost entirely woods and water. We live near Bow Lake, and I work from home. Nearly every morning, around the same time, I hear the red-shouldered hawk's cry as it patrols the woods we live in. Love it! In the evening it's the barred owl pair calling to each other while they hunt across the hill.

@theresaguevara8845 2 месяца назад

We have a nesting pair in the trees across the street from our house in Evansville, Indiana. They have been living there for several years. They are very vocal and active. We hear and see them every day. Their call reminds me of squeaky bed springs. 😀

@joannebleeden1372 Год назад

We are lucky enough to have a pair of red shouldered hawks nesting nearby. We have been watching them for months. One day , one of the hawks sat on a low tree limb to watch us. We were in a covered lean-to back porch. My daughter and I were able to take several pictures through the plexiglass . It was amazing to see this hawk so low and so close to us.

@secretsquirrel8527 Год назад

We live just south of Tampa, Florida, less than 5 miles from the Alafia River and Tampa Bay. We're in the middle of 6+ acres of woodlands with many mature oak trees and a variety of others, including pines and palms. We hear these beauties literally daily, especially this time of year, and see them often in our backyard, occasionally with fresh prey in their clutches. They are almost as common as the Spanish moss ithat hangs off the oak trees. They are truly magnificent creatures, and we love that they have chosen to seek refuge here from all the (what we consider to be) overdevelopment of land. We would love to purchase surrounding properties and make it a nature preserve that could never be cleared to build another strip mall, apartment building, etc. These guys and many other wonderful species are running out of places to live, and that makes us both sad and angry.

@katieashton4471 2 месяца назад

Brecksville, OH. The past 2 days there's been a hawk flying around perching in trees and calling all the while. Thank you for this video to finally answer why he/she is crying so much!

@PixarShark Год назад

Northeast FL here! I’m pretty sure these guys are nesting in the trees just along our street. We hear this cry all the time, most notably in the afternoon/evening I would say. I spotted a young one once bathing in a puddle in the road before perching on a tree to watch me. 💖

@SandieWhatley Год назад

I just had a Red-Shouldered Hawk in my backyard in Houston, Texas. I am near Bear Creek Park in the Addicks Reservoir. It was the call that caught my attention from inside my home. It was absolutely beautiful, and I feel honored to have watched it closely through binoculars as it was perched so strong and majestic calling from atop a telephone pole. What a perfect place to make its call!

Sitting in my backyard in Thousand Oaks, CA watching a majestic pair of red shoulders hawks. Thank you for the call ID. Since they are so large we thought they might be red tailed hawks. But the markings didn’t match up with the white splotchy underside and black heads. Gorgeous

@1214shell Год назад

I'm in the NW part of San Diego about 7 miles from the beach. We have two red-shouldered hawks that fly back and forth from our Eucalyptus tree to the giant palm tree about a block away. They take turns swooping down about 15 feet above our heads! Certainly much more noisy than the rooster in our neighbor's backyard. But we love having them!

I live in North Greensboro NC. There is a Red Shouldered Hawk nest in my back yard. The pair had 3 babies last year and they are getting the nest ready for this spring. I have a great view from my deck. Loved watching them last year and looking forward to this season.

@stevekirn Месяц назад

We hear them every day here in Gainesville Florida. Yesterday one landed on a pole that we use for our wind chimes and spent a good several minutes looking in the window at us. Oh yeah, and there was a small squirrel on the patio just beneath the hawk. Both survived.

I have 2 that visit my yard often. I live in an area where yards are mostly wooded, near the Altamaha River in Wayne County, Georgia. I see them hunting between a creek run and 2 low-lying swampy areas near the end of my road. They are beautiful to watch. One sometimes perches on a tree when I am sitting on my porch. They and the barred owls that I watch are fascinating.

@raybaker9636 Год назад

I live in Louisville, KY and am visited by one and possibly two red shouldered hawks about 3 to 4 times a week soaring over my backyard and through the subdivision. We live near forested area named the parklands of Louisville that also has a large creek named Floyds Fork running right through it. I have a one year old and 10 week old pug puppies that I let out in the morning in my backyard around 7:00 to 8:00 am when I usually see the hawks. So I walk with them to protect them as my smallest puppy is only 7 pounds. One morning as I was walking with the puppies the hawk actually flew about 30 feet right over my head. I always go out into the yard when I let them out. I only see the hawks in the morning but occasionally hear calls in the afternoon. So it must be nesting somewhere near by. We have so many trees and houses that I only get about 3 to 4 seconds of seeing them before there gone. Love seeing them soaring overhead!

@arniegentile8483 Год назад

Saw two of these hawks in Saratoga Springs East side flying and vocal over my home. They looked on the small side but there sound was unmistakable.

@TheWillOfJ Год назад

I live near the seacoast region in NH, (mostly forest with a bit of wetland) and I've heard this cry before! I've only started hearing it in the past few years, so I think they're new residents, hehe. More than that, I think I SAW this hawk today--the size, the striped wings, and the brown/red belly all match! It was flying around in the neighborhood where I walk my dog and I got to watch it perch and swoop around a little. It was so exciting!

@louisedaniels1224 Год назад

Thank you, so very much, for the video. I'm in North Central Texas (Dallas-Fort Wort area). There are a couple of hawks that will nest on a billboard sign by the highway. I love watching them soar and glide through the sky.

I’m in southeastern Connecticut and hear them all the time but got to see one just hanging out in a low tree branch in my backyard today!

@lucilejensen2551 Год назад

Tallahassee, Florida - hear them all the time over our wooded neighborhood. And even found one resting my fence post. At a neighborhood only few miles away, a red-shouldered hawk was sitting on a post as though it was a statue for the complex. Didn't budge, just blinked as we drove by.

@jezebeldarkness5065 Год назад

I live in Northern Kentucky, approximately 15 miles south of Cincinnati Ohio. I have had a hawk hanging around here for a few years now, but have never been able to see it close enough or hear it’s call to be able to identify the type of hawk. After watching and listening to this- AND the fact it flew out of my very large magnolia tree in my backyard yesterday, I can definitively say it was a red-shouldered hawk. It was truly magnificent to see and finally be able to properly identify it!!

@martinoseppi8892 Год назад

I live outside of Annapolis MD in a small development of 14 homes surrounded by woods. I have been hearing and seeing one fairly regularly the last few weeks. We have lots of squirrels that constantly get into my bird feeder. I hope the hawk takes them out as shown in the video.

I have a pair of red shouldered hawks nesting in my neighbors palm tree. I’ve been hearing them for the last month. I’m here in Northern California 45 east of San Francisco in what’s called the tri-valley (Dublin, Pleasanton and Livermore). I am getting such a thrill listening to them and hearing the little chicks cheeping too. I’ve got some great pics of one of them with a nice rat meal in its mouth!

Heard and saw two of them for the first time yesterday (Feb 22). I thought at first they were red tail hawks but the call had that second note that the red tail hawks do not have. I used my Merlin app to identify them. We are in central Missouri so it's cool that we have them right at the edge of their range!

I am on the muscatatuck river in jennings County Indiana. I see eagles occasionally but had never heard their trill before until today. I thought what in the he'll is that as my cat looked up and ran for cover. I heard another trill downstream, much softer, I looked out over the river in time to see a young bald eagle fly over our house. What a thrill!

@lifecloud2 8 месяцев назад

I live in south central Texas ... about an hour south of Austin. We have a few red tailed hawks around here but a couple of days ago, I heard this almost consist call of a hawk I hadn't heard before. The calls were similar to those of a blue jay but a bit less raucous. I kept searching for the source of this and finally saw a small hawk circling around the backyard. He finally landed on our back fence. A large tree shaded where he was and it was hard to make out any markings on him. He just looked like a brown shape ... a bit larger than a mourning dove. It took me a while, but your video helped me identify him as a red shoulder hawk by his call. Lately development has been tearing up what once were ranches around here and likely disturbing the territory of these amazing birds. This has meant more squirrels in my backyard along with more mourning doves ... likely a tasty meal for any hawk.

@user-ff5qy8fq6y 4 месяца назад

We are in Greensboro, NC. Our backyard is on a wooded creek. We have two that we watch hunt small snakes from the creek and brush. Today they were very vocal. We played your call and both came searching for the source. They were beautiful to watch.

@patrickanddarlenefraley5524 9 месяцев назад

I live just outside of Savannah, Georgia in the rural county of Effingham in Guyton. There's at least one, maybe more than one, that has been making all kinds of noise the past few weeks. I know it right away when I hear that signature sound. I live in a small subdivision and he was in my backyard in one of the trees just a couple of days ago and I hear him several times a day when I go outside with my dogs. I love birdwatching. We actually have lots of barred owls in our area as well and I have some great pictures of them in the trees in my backyard. They are very fascinating! We keep nesting boxes for eastern bluebirds and several other types nest here as well. Lots of babies all the time ❤️

@jeremybyington Год назад

I have had a nest in my neighbor’s tree for the last few years. The sound you feature here is what I was looking for! All this time I thought they were Coopers. One thing I might add is while they are near certain nests a very brave bird much smaller than them (gray on top, white belly, long gray tail feathers) will dive bomb them over and over. When this happens they make a quick, deep full-throated grunt like “Aughk!”. It is quite a thing to witness, like a cat chasing off an 8ft alligator.

I saw and heard one while kayaking doing loon surveying on Lac La Pêche in Québec, Canada. It was on August 9th, 2023. I saw it relatively well with my binoculars, but it's the call that confirmed I was looking at a red-shouldered hawk. I saw and heard it while kayaking through an open and shallow swamp like area of the lake.

@ffhd1clt 3 месяца назад

I just heard one a few minutes ago. I’m in Lake Norman, NC, but as a volunteer for Carolina Raptor Center, I hear them quite a bit. Often though, I’ll hear one in the summer, and I’ll seek it out and find I’ve been fooled by a Blue Jay. It’s amazing how close they get to the sound. I mean, I work with them a lot, and I can’t tell the difference. We have tons of Red Shoulders around here, second only to the ubiquitous Red Tailed Hawk.

@sohcahtoa1970 Год назад

I just heard the chickadees freaking out outside my window, and then this keeaaah sound repeating nearby. I used an app to identify the sound, and it was a red-shouldered hawk. I'm in the right area, so that's a reasonable assumption. Thanks for this video, it seems to confirm the presence of these hawks (about an hour north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada).
