Food Sources

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. .
