 Red-shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus). Forests and woodlands. Flying from a branch, a Red-shouldered Hawk forces air rearward on the downstroke. With air channeled rearward between the wings, the first wing strokes during an escape or an attack provide "jet-propulsion" with the compressed air forced rearward driving the forward motion of the bird. Both gravity and the Newtonian action of the jet of air creates a rapid forward and downward trajectory until the airspeed of the bird is sufficient for the wings to create lift. |
