Hawks are a group of medium-sized diurnal birds of prey of the family Accipitridae which are widely distributed and varying greatly in size. The subfamily Accipitrinae includes goshawks sparrowhawks the sharp-shinned and others. These are mainly woodland birds with long tails and high visual acuity hunting by sudden dashes from a concealed perch. In the Americas members of the Buteo group are also called hawks these are called buzzards in other parts of the world. Generally buteos have broad wings and sturdy builds. They are relatively larger winged shorter-tailed and soar more extensively in open areas than accipiters descending or pouncing on their prey rather than making fast horizontal pursuit.

The terms accipitrine hawk and buteonine may be used to distinguish the two types in regions where applies to both. The term true hawk is sometimes used for the accipitrine hawks in regions where buzzard is preferred for the buteonine hawks. The common names of some birds include the term reflecting traditional usage rather than taxonomy such as referring to an osprey as a fish or a peregrine falcon as a duck.

Starting in the hawk's early life the bird is fed by its parents until it leaves the nest for good. The young while still in its fledgling phase will leave its nest as early as six weeks old. Once the bird is older it begins its ancestral instinct to hunt. The kills its prey with its claws as opposed to other predator birds such as the falcon. The falcon uses its claws to catch the prey but kills the small animal with its mouth instead of its claws. The hawk's preferred time for hunting is usually just before nightfall when the daylight begins to lessen. Although the hawk is known for being a violent predator some are gentle and quiet. The hawk's main way of transportation is flying. When it flies the hawk flaps its wings rapidly and then uses that momentum to glide smoothly and gracefully through the air.
