These are white,sometimes with a yellowish or bluish tinge,marked with shades of brown and gray.Eggs without markings are rare. The calls of the red-shouldered hawkare loud, wailing screams that may beheard for some distance. They are mim-icked by the bluejay so perfectly that it isoften difificult to distinguish the imitation. The northern red-shouldered hawk, Bu-tco lineatus lineatus, ranges from south-ern Canada to southern Kansas and NorthCarolina, migrating to the Gulf coast inwinter. The Florida red-shoulder, ButeoI. alleni, which is smaller, nests from Okla-homa and South Carolina to Louisianaand southeastern Florida.
