How big do Hawks get?

The size of hawks can vary greatly depending on the species. The smallest hawks are the American Kestrel and the Eurasian Kestrel, which are both about 10-12 inches long and have a wingspan of about 20-24 inches. The largest hawks are the Harpy Eagle and the Philippine Eagle, which are both about 3-4 feet long and have a wingspan of up to 8 feet.

In general, hawks are sexually dimorphic, meaning that males and females of the same species can be different sizes. Males are typically smaller than females, with the difference in size being more pronounced in larger species.

The size of a hawk can also vary depending on its age. Juvenile hawks are typically smaller than adult hawks, and they may continue to grow for several years after they reach maturity.
