Harris Hawk wingspan ranges from 165 cm to 205 cm for adult birds.
Height ranges from 45 cm to 60 cm. Female hawks are larger than their male counterparts.
Weight ranges from just under 540 g to 1.6 kg. Again the female hawks tend to be larger than males and lead in hunting.
Harris hawks are one of the few types of birds of prey that hunt in groups. The females rule the goup with a central alpha female as leader. They are very agile birds of prey and can easily maneuver through brush and bushes. If the group makes a kill, the females eat first, whatever is left is for the males to fight over. .
