Hawk and Falcon

The primary distinction between these two magnificent birds of prey lies in their size, with falcons being smaller than hawks. However, two other prominent differences are equally evident — their distinct wing characteristics and hunting techniques. Hawks possess short, wide, and rounded wings, whereas falcons boast long, slender, and pointed wings. Regarding hunting, hawks rely on their powerful claws to capture prey, whereas falcons employ a unique ’tooth’ or notch on the side of their beak.
