Did you know, Red-tailed Hawks, like Jake, have a powerful, raspy scream that Hollywood loves to use? Whenever you hear a shrill raptor cry in movies or TV shows, it's often a Red-tailed Hawk, no matter what species is on screen. Check out this video of Jake demonstrating the iconic sound! #NatureSounds #BirdsofPrey #DidYouKnow | Alaska Raptor Center

No “red” on this red-tailed hawk. An uncommon sighting, this is a leucistic (not albino) red-tailed hawk. Leucism is similar to albinism, however, albinos lack the ability to create melanin, one specific type of pigment. Leucistic animals usually have normal eye color, unlike albinos, which generally have red eyes. 🪶🕊Visit our Center Thursday through Saturday to see this unique, beautiful hawk in person.
