Hawk Totems
Hawks are predatory birds with remarkably sharp claws (talons) and whose size
greatly varies within the 250 species. Female hawks are usually larger than the males.
These raptors hunt during the day employing the use of their fierce talons to
tear apart their prey.
Most hawks live in prairies, marshlands, forests, or open savannas. In these
habitats they use their acute vision to hunt their food and raise their offspring.
Hawks are fearless birds who will even face off with poisonous snakes if necessary.
Hawks piercing shriek tears through the air. In its shrill cry lies an important
message which represents illumination. Hawk teaches us to scope out the situation
and focus on our talents, trying to draw them out. Hawk learns to see the big picture
in order to understand the past, present, and future. Hawk asks us to be observant
of surroundings so we won't get distracted from our path by others. It also reminds
us not to get caught up in minor annoyances so we can maintain our inner balance.
