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-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) is one of the largest members of Buteo family and the most common of the larger birds of prey. This hawk covers the largest amount of territory in North America. Recognized in the eastern regions by its dark brown mantle and usually a red-coloured tail. There are a number of sub-species. Better known among this group is the light coloured Krider's and the fully dark brown Harlan's, both sub-species more likely to be seen in the western areas of the continent.
T-ratings are roughly based on length of hike. There’s virtually no bushwhacking, (At least not when placed)
