Description
Harris Hawks are one of the few broadwinged hawks that will readily hunt in a team (sometimes called a cast), when they are socialised with each other. Even to the point of standing on top of each other like a circus troop.
When hunting as a team, they will take turns in flushing the quarry while the others wait & attack when flushed. This enables the hunting to carry on for longer than usual, often with the prey tiring before the birds.If the prey hides in bushes, then some of the group will attempt to go in after the prey, while the rest wait on the other side for the prey to rush out.
Added a bit of atmosphere via photoshop not sure If I got it right?
