This cache is located along Martin Count’s Hawk’s Hammock Nature and Equestrian Trail System, and can be accessed via the newly created Public Access & Parking area at the end of Green Farms Road.
Since its namesake is that of Hawks, I thought I’d dedicate a series of caches to some of the most common hawks of North & South America.
The Common Black-Hawk (Buteogallus anthracinus) is found in southwestern areas of the USA. This bird of prey, a member of the buteo family, can be mistaken for the Zone-tailed Hawk, which is another all-black hawk that is seen in their shared regions. These hawks prefer to feed on reptiles, crustaceans and fish. It is typical to see these hawks perched on a limb in a tree, rather than soaring in search of prey. At this time, the Black-Hawk seen in Cuba is considered a sub-species to the Common Black-Hawk seen on the continent.
T-ratings are roughly based on length of hike. There’s virtually no bushwhacking, (At least not when placed)
