Title: Red-Tail Ridge

Description:  As the sun bathes the mountain ridge in golden light, a majestic Red-tailed Hawk soars gracefully over Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Renowned as one of the largest birds of prey in North America, these impressive raptors exhibit remarkable physical attributes. While females typically outweigh males, they rarely exceed 3 pounds in weight, boasting wingspans ranging from 3.5 to 4.8 feet. However, particularly large females may span closer to 5 feet. With an average cruising speed of 20 to 30 mph, Red-tailed Hawks possess remarkable agility, capable of reaching speeds of up to 120 mph when diving for prey. Equipped with extraordinary eyesight, they perceive a spectrum that extends into the ultraviolet range, allowing them to discern a rich tapestry of colors beyond human perception. Their distinctive, raspy scream resonates through the skies, a signature sound synonymous with the wild and untamed beauty of the American wilderness.
