Hawk

A hawk was a bird that was distinguished by its excellent vision, even in dark conditions.
==Species==
* A certain species of Amnian hawks had blue-gray backs and bellies with ivory feathering, streaked with dark gray, black, and pale orange. They had a long, square-tipped tail.
* The green kestrel, which despite their name were not true kestrels, were a species of hawk endemic to the Marching Mountains. They were prized by many Calishite falconers for being one of the deadliest birds of prey in the Realms.
==Ecology==
===Habitats===
In the Unapproachable East, hawks could be found around the Tannath Gap.
Beyond the Prime Material plane, hawks could be found in the forests of Barovia.
===Relationships===
Some of the best-trained hawks were trained by the elven House Korianthil.
===Usages===
Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue sold hawk feathers in bundles of four for 1 gp.
Commanders of the Igidujin tribe of the Plain of Horses employed hawks trained to attack targets in battle. Their beaks and claws were both sharpened to a razor's edge.
==Notable Hawks==
*Silvin: The companion of the wemic druid, Kretnor.
*Soliana, the so-called "Princess of Fanloc" who was a magically polymorphed hawk, given the form of a human and adopted by the Green Hag of Lizard Marsh in the 14 century DR.
