Falcons and hawks are both birds of prey, but they belong to different families and have distinct characteristics.

 


 

Key Differences

 

  • Speed: Falcons are significantly faster, especially during a hunting dive known as a stoop. The peregrine falcon, for example, is the fastest animal on Earth, capable of reaching speeds over 200 mph in a dive. Hawks, while fast, are generally slower and tend to hunt by soaring or gliding before ambushing their prey.

     

  • Size: Hawks are typically larger than falcons. While there's a wide range of sizes within both groups, a hawk species like the red-tailed hawk is often bigger than most falcons.

     

  • Wing Shape: This is one of the easiest ways to tell them apart in flight. Falcons have long, pointed wings designed for speed and rapid wing beats. Hawks have broader, more rounded wings that are better suited for soaring and gliding.

     

  • Hunting Method: Falcons often catch their prey in mid-air using their speed and a special "tomial tooth" on their beak to sever the prey's neck. Hawks, on the other hand, use their powerful talons to snatch prey from the ground or a perch.
