The Eastern Screech Owl is a permanent resident of north Texas. They are the most common owl found in north Texas. There are a number of color morphs in Screech Owls ranging from red to gray. Depending upon the area of the country, the ratio of color changes. In Texas, the majority are gray, in the eastern United States the majority are red.
Length: 8”
Wingspan: 20”

The Red-tailed Hawk is our most common buteo in Texas and North America. Their range is throughout North America except the Arctic. Most birds are permanent residents of the area they are born, but the most northern birds will migrate south in the winter. In Texas, you will see more Red-tailed Hawks in winter due to this migration. In the summer only the permanent resident birds remain.
Description: There are many plumages of this buteo. They can range from leukistic (known as albinos or white) to almost black (known as a Harlan’s morph). The common plumage is a light brown chest with a darker “belly band” (that can be very different from bird to bird), Dark brown wings and a rusty red tail. Immature birds look very different their first year. Their tail has dark bands of brown, black and white and is actually longer than an adult. They are more black and white versus the brown wash overall of the adult. Iris colors change from a light color to a dark brown within two years.
Habitat: Found in most areas. Prefer sitting on high perches overlooking open fields. In cities, commonly found on telephone or light poles over median strips. Will be seen soaring over fields.
Flight: Slow wing beats with intermittent soaring. Will do lazy circles when soaring on thermals. Will hover or “kite” (flap wings while remaining in one place) in the wind.
Vocalization: Known for its raspy long scream that falls in pitch.
Food: Mainly mammals; mice, rats, squirrels and rabbits. Occasionally will go after birds and snakes.
Nesting: Found in tall trees. Made of sticks. They will use the same nest for many years. They usually lay 2-3 eggs that are incubated for about 28 days. Young fledge in about 7 weeks but will hang around parents for quite a while afterward.

The Mississippi Kite is a summer resident in parts of north Texas and southeast states. They have a very definite line where they nest. Very rarely do you find them in Dallas, but in Sherman and north, they are very common. These birds migrate to Central America and south in the winter. They begin migration early, August to September, and have been known to abandon young in favor of migration.

The Osprey is a fairly common raptor but is only found on area lakes.
Length: 24”
Wingspan: 64”
Weight: 3.5 lbs
Description: Distinctive bird. Back and wings are black, the chest is white and the tail is mostly black with some light gray stripes. Head is mostly white with a black stripe through the eye. When in flight, has a distinct color to wings.
Habitat: Found near large bodies of water.
Flight: Slow, shallow wing beats. Long, narrow wings. Will hover over water and dive talons-first to catch fish.
Vocalization: A high-pitched call, teew, teew, teew.
Food: Fish.
Nesting: Found in tops of trees or rocky outcrops looking over water, site will be re-used every year with additional sticks being added. Usually 3 eggs that hatch in about 33 days. Leaves nest in 6 – 7 weeks but remains nearby for many weeks.
Notes: Sometimes confused with Bald Eagles, but much smaller and has black tail and black eye-stripe whereas the eagle’s tail and head are all white when adults. When Osprey’s are flying with a fish in their talons, they always hold the head of the fish forward, this is thought to make it much more aerodynamic in flight. The only raptor that can be almost completely submerged in water, when it catches a fish, and take off again.
The Turkey Vulture is a year-round resident in Texas and is common throughout the United States. They are carrion-feeders and can be found soaring and roosting in groups. Turkey Vultures can be distinguished from Black Vultures by shape and flight. Turkey Vultures soar with a dihedral wing shape (imagine a V-shape) and they rock back and forth. Tail is long. Black Vultures soar with wings almost flat and rarely rock back and forth. They have very stubby tails.
Length: 25”
Wingspan: 68”
Weight: 4 lbs
Plumage: Black on back, tail and wings. Red head and pale legs. From underneath in flight, Wing tips and trailing feathers are gray compared to rest of body. Babies are white down with black head.
Habitat: Found mainly in open areas but can be seen anywhere.
Flight: Often soaring, rocking back and forth. Has dihedral (V-shape) to wings. When roosting, will open its wings to dry them off before taking flight.
Vocalization: Has no ‘vocal chords’. Only hisses.
Food: Carrion of any kind.
Nesting: Found on the ground or in unused buildings. No nests are made, just a flat surface that may be scraped out a little. They usually lay 2 eggs that are incubated for about 38 days. Young fledge in about 11 weeks. If babies are found, leave them alone, they are supposed to be on the ground. Vultures are extremely susceptible to ‘imprinting’. If humans attempt to raise them, they will become attached to humans and can’t be released into the wild. Attempting to raise baby birds is against the law unless given state and federal permits.
Defense: Vultures will ‘throw up’ their food if they feel threatened.
Note: Turkey Vultures find food by smell. They can smell carrion over a mile away. Black Vultures will follow them because they do not have a good sense of smell.
The Black Vulture is a year-round resident in Texas and is common in the southeast United States. They are carrion-feeders and can be found soaring and roosting in groups. Black Vultures can be distinguished from Turkey Vultures by shape and flight. Black Vultures soar with wings almost flat and rarely rock back and forth. They have very stubby tails. Turkey Vultures soar with a dihedral wing shape (imagine a V-shape) and they rock back and forth. Tail is long.
Length: 25”
Wingspan: 60”

Vocalization: Has no ‘vocal chords’. Only hisses.
Food: Carrion of any kind.
Nesting: Found on the ground, unused buildings or ledges of cliffs. No nests are made, just a flat surface that may be scraped out a little. They usually lay 2 eggs that are incubated for about 33 days. Young fledge in about 8 weeks but depend on parents for another 3 weeks. If babies are found, leave them alone, they are supposed to be on the ground. Vultures are extremely susceptible to ‘imprinting’. If humans attempt to raise them, they will become attached to humans and can’t be released into the wild. Attempting to raise baby birds is against the law unless given state and federal permits.
Defense: Vultures will ‘throw up’ their food if they feel threatened.
Note: Black Vultures do not have a good sense of smell and will follow Turkey Vultures to find food.
