Look up. The hawks above your neighborhood, roadside, field, or woodland are living complex lives in plain sight.
Hawks are often easier to notice than to understand. You may see one circling high overhead, perched quietly beside a road, calling from a distant tree, or suddenly pursuing prey across an open space. Each encounter offers clues about how these remarkable birds hunt, communicate, move, reproduce, and adapt to landscapes shared with people.
Hawks Around Us takes you beyond the silhouette in the sky and introduces the everyday lives of the hawks we encounter around homes, farms, parks, forests, roadsides, and open country.
Learn What You’re Really Seeing
Instead of relying on color alone, discover how body proportions, wing shape, tail shape, flight style, posture, vocalizations, surroundings, and activity can help you make sense of a hawk encounter.
Inside You’ll Discover:
- How hawks are built for life as aerial predators
- How eyesight supports hunting and environmental awareness
- How wings and tails reflect different flight strategies
- Why some hawks soar while others hunt from concealed perches
- How different species pursue different types of prey
- How to interpret common calls and vocal activity
- Why territorial activity becomes especially noticeable at certain times
- How courtship and pair formation unfold
- How nest sites are selected and defended
- How eggs, nestlings, and recently fledged young are cared for
- Why young hawks can behave differently from experienced adults
- How seasonal movements change which species you encounter
- Why roadsides, agricultural areas, suburbs, and parks can attract certain hawks
- How hawks respond to landscapes altered by people
- How to observe nests and hunting activity without unnecessary disturbance
- How repeated observations can help you recognize individual patterns
Understand How Hawks Hunt
Not every hawk hunts in the same way. Some watch patiently from elevated perches. Others move rapidly through woodland. Some use open skies and rising air currents to search large areas. Understanding these different strategies makes behavior one of your most useful clues in the field.
Follow Their Family Lives
Behind every familiar roadside or neighborhood hawk is a breeding cycle involving territorial displays, nest preparation, incubation, growing young, fledging, and a period when inexperienced juveniles begin developing the skills they need to survive independently.
Discover Hawks in Human Landscapes
Hawks do not live only in remote wilderness. Some regularly use agricultural land, suburban neighborhoods, city parks, roadside corridors, and other environments shaped by people. Their presence provides an opportunity to observe predator ecology surprisingly close to home.
Become a More Attentive Hawk Watcher
Learning to notice silhouette, wingbeats, soaring style, perch choice, vocalizations, prey, surroundings, and seasonal timing can transform a brief sighting into a much richer observation.
Perfect for birdwatchers, backyard naturalists, families, photographers, and anyone who regularly looks up and wonders about the raptors overhead, this accessible guide reveals the remarkable lives of the hawks sharing our everyday landscapes.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
