We have had an influx of Harris Hawks in Houston, Texas. For the first time!! Mostly on the west side near the Energy Corridor - which runs along Buffalo Bayou. I have a yellow tabby stray cat who has suffered slashes on his front arm twice. My pest control guy (who is an old farmer) told me about the Harris Hawks migrating this way from the wildfires in Southern California and Arizona.
I now coax this stray into my laundry room during dusk each day and I have warned my neighbors to watch their small dogs and outdoor cats!!!
These Harris Hawks seem like well organized hunters. The lead hawk seems to be the scout and then about 20 - 30 in a group follow and swoop down.
I don’t know where they return to as the sun sets??? But it’s clockwork!!
