Hawks, Falcons and Osprey
It’s not easy to tell the difference between a hawk and falcon based on looks. The main distinguishing feature is their prey of choice. Falcons hunt smaller birds and hawks go for small mammals/rodents. Osprey, like eagles, love their fish – it’s amazing to watch them plunge into the water from insane heights to grab their prey.
