WHERE DO HAWKS SLEEP?

I've never seen a Hawk at night or a picture of a Hawk at night so I thought this would be a good opportunity to share such a picture.

Have you ever wondered, "Where do Hawks sleep? (in a Holiday Inn Express?)"  I can't speak for all Hawks however this particular Red-tailed Hawk was perched in a hardwood tree with his talons wrapped around a horizontal limb in a somewhat protected position.

At first his head was not obvious. I believe it was turned around tucked into the feathers on his back.

A better view from underneath. I took my picture, walked away and let him sleep.
