| | Birds - Duck Hawk |
 | | It is found mainly in the vicinity of water, feeding largely upon water fowl and shore birds, but also taking hares, Ptarmigan, Grouse, Quail, Pigeons, and poultry. |
 | | Cooper says, "I have seen one pursue a Swallow, and turning feet upward seize it flying with perfect ease." It is, in fact, the terror of all birds from the size of a Mallard Duck down. |
 | | The nest of this subspecies is usually placed on some projecting ledge or crag, often in an inaccessible position on the face of a cliff, or occasionally in a hollow tree. |
