Hawk

A hawk was a bird that was distinguished by its excellent vision, even in dark conditions.

Species

 * A certain species of Amnian hawks had blue-gray backs and bellies with ivory feathering, streaked with dark gray, black, and pale orange. They had a long, square-tipped tail.
 * The green kestrel, which despite their name were not true kestrels, were a species of hawk endemic to the Marching Mountains. They were prized by many Calishite falconers for being one of the deadliest birds of prey in the Realms.

Habitats
In the Unapproachable East, hawks could be found around the Tannath Gap.

Beyond the Prime Material plane, hawks could be found in the forests of Barovia.

Relationships
Some of the best-trained hawks were trained by the elven House Korianthil.

Usages
Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue sold hawk feathers in bundles of four for 1 gp.
