This illustration shows two individuals hawks perched on branches. The upper bird displays the characteristic streaked breast plumage, hooked beak, and yellow legs typical of the species, while the lower bird shows darker plumage with barred underparts. A partially eaten bird (appearing to be a rose-breasted grosbeak or similar species) is visible at the bottom, illustrating the hawk's predatory nature. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawk#/media/File:Accipiter_striatusDO1908P02CA.JPG
