Buteo jamaicensis

The Red Tailed Hawk is an animal that lives in North America. They come in many colored variants, but the most popular one is one with a lighter belly and a red tail. Their scream is used in media as a back-ground raptor call, often replacing that of a Bald Eagle's. They are not often featured as characters. In the Animorph book series by K. A. Applegate, one of the main characters is a human who was restricted to living as a Red Tailed Hawk due to a metamorphosis failure on his part. Red Tailed Hawks may be common suburban/country city animals in some areas in the West, but not necessarily in most U.S or Canadian towns.
