Feather Fur And Scale/Buteo

Buteo (Red Tailed Hawk)
This bird of prey is smaller than the eagles but has the same general shape. It has a wingspan of up to 5 feet. The coloration is usually brown upperside and white underside, but numerous variations have been seen. It has a black beak, dark brown eyes and bare legs. Buteo is common in all regions and feeds primarily on rodents but also takes small birds and reptiles. In some areas this bird has developed a social organization and hunts cooperatively, much like an aerial wolf pack.
