Can You Guess the Bird with 3 Clues?
Celebrate July 4th with this sizzling round of “Who’s That Bird!” Using the silhouetted image above and the three hints below, can you name this bird?
  • Clue #1: This bird is the only species of its kind found solely in North America, ranging from Canada to northern Mexico. 
  • Clue #2: This opportunistic hunter will often steal prey instead of tracking down their own meals. 
  • Clue #3: This mystery bird’s meek cries are often replaced with that of the Red-tailed Hawk in movies, television shows, and commercials. 
Here’s a bonus hint: This bird’s four-letter banding code, which researchers often use as shorthand for species' names, is “BAEA.”
