Energy budgets were generated using a simulation model that incorporates the average daily activity budget and ambient temperatures. Female hawks exhibited a positive energy budget during the nesting and non-nesting season, while males achieved a positive energy budget only during the non-nesting season.;Mean productivity of 134 red-tailed hawk nesting attempts within 24 distinct areas was 1.10... | Keywords/Search Tags: | Red-tailed, Hawks, Energy, Budget | | Related items |
