Hawk

Summary
The hawk is a basic game animal and one of the four available birds in Web Earth Online. It is quite fast and capable of flight, and once aged is a very effective predator.

As a hawk ages, it can reach a maximum of 40 Health.

Enemies
Hawks do not have any true active enemies as they take full reign of the skies.

However, Bobcats, Wolves and Coyotes won't waste an opportunity to pounce if given the chance.

Diet
Hawks feed exclusively on fresh meat. Favoured prey are mice, geckos and rabbits, but a fully grown hawk can kill the young of almost any animal.

During the first half of Spring, cardinal chicks can be stolen from their nests and are a very easy meal.

Nests
Hawks may build nests in trees using roots, twigs and sticks. They lay two to three eggs and the young take approximately one full season to fledge.

Trivia & Tips

 * Hawks can drop prey on cliffs whilst flying in order to deal damage. This may make dispatching prey easier for young and inexperienced hawks; even if the victim survives, they will be trapped.
 * Nests can be built in Condor Caves, where wind cannot destroy them.
 * One can kill almost any land animal by attacking and immediately moving to another square. This drastically reduces the window for retaliation.
 * Unlike in real life, male hawks are larger than their female counterparts.
