Hawk

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

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.
 * A species of Calishite green kestrel, that was indigenous exclusively to the Marching Mountains, was prized by many falconers for being one of the deadliest birds of prey in the Realms.

Ecology
Hawks were predatory birds that were native to the natural world. These animals flew through the sky in search of prey, which included small animals, lizards, snakes, and vermin.

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.

Hawks could be trained as hunting companions if raised from chicks and properly instructed.

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