 World Almanac for Kids
HAWK, common name for many of the birds of prey of the family Accipitridae, which also includes the eagles and kites, and the harriers, which have often been called “hawks.” Members of the genus BUTEO are called “hawks” in North America and “buzzards” in the Old World.
They differ in details of coloration, but chiefly in size; the sharp-shinned hawk is 25 to 36 cm (10 to 14 in) long and the Cooper’s hawk 36 to 51 cm (14 to 20 in), females being the larger sex in both.
Thus the smallest hawks feed primarily on insects, and the “bird hawks” of the genus Accipiter choose their feathered prey in accordance with their own relative size.
