If you live in California for any amount of time, the Redtail Hawk becomes sacred to you. We think of it as our bird. I was surprised to see Jim Dixon say there are Redtails in my home state of Wisconsin - I don't remember them. I didn't see the lyrics for the song that Kate Wolf recorded, so here they are: THE REDTAIL HAWK (George A. Shroder) The redtail hawk writes songs across the sky. There's music in the waters flowing by. And you can hear a song each time the wind sighs In the golden rolling hills of California. In the golden rolling hills of California. It's been so long, love, since you said goodbye. My cabin's been as lonesome as a cry, But there's comfort in the clouds drifting by In the golden rolling hills of California. In the golden rolling hills of California. A neighbor came today to lend a hand, He saw I'd fixed the road as best I can; But there's s just some things that need a man's hand In the golden rolling hills of California. In the golden rolling hills of California. The redtail hawk writes songs across the sky. There's music in the waters flowing by. And you can hear a song each time the wind sighs In the golden rolling hills of California. In the golden rolling hills of California. Source: the Kate Wolf Songbook
