HAWK
			Phylum: Class: Order: Family: Chordata Aves Falconiformes Accipitridae

Often confused with falcons, the hawk is also a bird of prey. The European kestrel, for example, is a falcon, but the American kestrel is popularly known as the sparrow hawk. The European sparrow hawk is a typical hawk, with broader wings and tail than a falcon. Most hawks hunt by pouncing on their prey, often flying in a series of short dashes followed by a long glide. Their prey includes small birds and mammals. Hawks are breathtaking animals to observe in flight.
