I have a beautiful hawk - creamy pearl/gold with spots - who is so funny, he’s never learned to land. Cracks me up, he comes in, lands on a weak cedar branch and flaps nearly all the way to the ground trying to get purchase. He just can’t seem to figure it out.
They are fun to watch. When our pasture grass gets too tall the hawks use a form of hunting that I had never seen before. They fly low over the top of the grass and flare up a few feet to pounce. It’s quite a spectacle because it does not work too often so they make multiple attempts per catch.
