Pip the Red-tailed Hawk has been working on his flight! Red-tailed Hawks are the most common type of hawk in North America. There are 14 different subspecies that vary somewhat in their tail color and pattern. Northwestern Red-tails tend to be darker in color and retain the striping on their tail feathers even as adults. In eastern subspecies, the tail feather striping fades during adulthood. #chintiminiwildlifecenter #wildliferescue #wildlifeeducation #wildliferescueandrehab #oregon #nativewild
