Geocache Description:


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 Red-shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus) is a medium sized buteo, larger than the Broad-winged Hawk but smaller than the Swainson's or Red-tailed Hawks. Most likely to prey upon insects, frogs, snakes and the odd small bird. Prefers lowlands with wet areas, bordering water or swamps, where it will perch on a limb and drop down unto its unsuspecting prey.

T-ratings are roughly based on length of hike. There’s virtually no bushwhacking, (At least not when placed)
