Talk:Harris's hawk

: How many birds? I can certainly provide two, probably three in a photo. --Wesley R. Elsberry (talk) 11:51, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I added the following to the main article:
: In the United States desert southwest, Harris's hawks sometimes engage in a behavior called 'stacking'. Two or three birds may perch one atop the other. Researchers note that when this occurs, the more dominant bird is actually the one on the bottom of the stack. The social dynamics are that when a low-status bird is approached by a higher status bird, the low-status bird will abandon a perch. However, a higher status bird will retain its perch, and end up with one or two lower status birds atop it.
I have seen this behavior myself in the area around Hebbronville, TX. The researcher referred to is Dr. Jim Dawson, then of the University of Arizona at Tucson, who reported on this to a meeting of the California Hawking Club around 2002. --Wesley R. Elsberry 03:52, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Obviously the editor that started the article used one of two equally valid spellings. There is  no binding rule about whether to use a terminal possessive -s for words ending in -s, and in fact you will find both variants of "Harris' hawk" in the literature (e.g., the IUCN uses the form we have in the article title ). I suggest not getting worked up about this.-- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 06:53, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: My point is that it is even grammatically correct. See any number of sources . Certainly not worth a page move, in any case :) -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:18, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Apostrophe

message: This is OR, but my HHs have taken rabbits, jackrabbits, ground squirrels, tree squirrels, rats, mice, voles, English sparrow, ducks, a goose, quail, chukar, and pheasant. They tried to take muskrat, unsuccessfully. There are any number of other animals that a HH may try for that aren't going to be on any game list. They are pretty opportunistic. In south Texas, we saw a cast of about eight wild HHs feeding on a road-killed bobcat. --Wesley R. Elsberry (talk) 14:26, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I have seen vidoe of two hawks in a spiral dive holding each other's talons.  Is this the Harris Hawk?  If so, some mention of this unique behavior is warranted. Kjaer (talk) 03:04, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Raptors Holding Talons in Flight

message: '''
although hawks are sometimes used to scare other birds at a worksite, etc. it is more common to use a falcon like a male peregrin (females aren't used so much since they nearly always turn into hunting birds) which are the prime predators of most small to medium sized birds like the seagull. just a small point from a falconer.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.168.93.3 (talk) 11:16, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know that anyone has surveyed falconers who do anti-FOD and anti-depredation work on proportions of raptor species used. It is, however, a fact that HHs are used for such purposes. Another point from a falconer and wildlife biologist. --Wesley R. Elsberry (talk) 00:46, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Should this really be a B grade? I've just spent 20 minutes clearing out WP:OR, getting the refs to at least be refs - can't face formatting them all properly. Also consolidated sections fixed caption/heading format etc.  jimfbleak (talk) 12:16, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Clean-up

message: At present if you type "Harris" into the wikipedia search box you are taken to the Isle of Harrises entry! As there are many uses of the word Harris it has been proposed to change this so that when you type "Harris" you are taken to the Harris (disambiguation) page instead.
If you support/oppose this move or have any comments please add your input to the Harris Talk page.
Thanks --WickerWiki (talk) 19:06, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Although the Harris hawk can be found over a wide area of southwest US, Mexico, and Central and South America it is only in the Sonoran Desert that their cooperative hunting has been observed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.201.220.97 (talk) 14:17, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
