Native to North and South America, the Harris Hawk is a bird associated with arid desert and mountainous areas. It is unusual amongst raptors for its social habits of hunting. Individual birds will club together and hunt as a pack. Some birds will drive and flush prey towards others who are watching and waiting in ambush. This hunting co-operation ensures greater success and the kill is shared.
Having a social and forgiving nature, along with the ease with which they are handled, have made them a firm favourite for falconers, and a beginner will often have one as their first bird.
