Title: Zone-tailed Hawk

Except for its tail bands, this long-winged black hawk bears a superficial resemblance to the larger, nonpredatory Turkey Vulture. This resemblance is thought to deceive small birds and other prey, who allow it to approach. Then, without warning, this supposed vulture makes its catch!
