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 Zone-tailed Hawk (Buteo albonotatus) is seen along the southern borders of the US and also next to Mexico. This black hawk is known as an "aggressive mimicry", meaning a predator mimicking a non-predator. By behaving like this, the buteo flies in a similar manner as the Turkey Vulture (Cathartes aura), wings held in a dihedral manner, slowly flying in a flock of vultures. This allows the Zone-tailed Hawk to approach its unwary prey, diving upon it at the first opportunity.
T-ratings are roughly based on length of hike. There’s virtually no bushwhacking, (At least not when placed)
