This is Ruby, our female red-tailed hawk and she spotted a wild red-tailed hawk flying over the ambassador building. This is a call that red-tailed hawks will give to defend and declare their territory and is also used as a warning call. Here Ruby is telling the wild hawk that this is her territory, and it needs to fly elsewhere. Fun fact: Red-tailed hawk vocalizations are often used as Bald Eagle vocalizations in movies because film makers decided the red tailed hawks call is more intimidating
