| A raptor of the open country of the West, the Ferruginous Hawk is the largest American hawk. The Ferruginous Hawk breeds from eastern Washington and southern Alberta eastward to southwestern Manitoba and eastern South Dakota, southward to Arizona and the panhandle of Texas. Before the elimination of bison in the West, nests of the Ferruginous Hawk were often partially constructed of bison bones and wool. The Rough-legged Hawk, the Ferruginous Hawk, and the Golden Eagle are the only American hawks to have legs feathered all the way to the toes. Size: 22-27 inches Wingspan: 52-56 inches |
