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 White-tailed Hawk (Geranoaetus albicaudatus), is a Texas rarity. It is seen only in the southeastern corner of the state, being the most northerly extension of their population. Can be observed from southern Argentina, north through South America, into Central America and Mexico. Prefers to perch when hunting, seen along highways perched on utility poles, fence posts and trees. Has been known to patrol the perimeters of grass fires, preying on small animals, reptiles and large insects, fleeing from the burn.
T-ratings are roughly based on length of hike. There’s virtually no bushwhacking, (At least not when placed)
