APPARENT COMMENSALISM OF A RED-TAILED HAWK AND BADGER

Abstract

 Hunting associations between the American Badger (Taxidea taxus) and Coyote (Canis latrans) have been well documented (Aughey 1884, Hawkins 1907, Cahalane 1950, Lehner 1981, Kiliaan et al. 1991, Minta et al. 1992). Coyotes have been observed capturing rodents flushed out of burrows by badgers (Minta et al. 1992).
