spunky the red-tailed hawk is a unique member of a flock of bald eagles. researchers aren’t completely sure how he ended up with the flock, but he appears to have imprinted on the eagles, and the eagles have accepted him as one of them. spunky shows some hawk behavior, but has also learned eagle hunting and social behaviors.
