Do the cries of an eyas hawk frighten game from the field and forest?

The correct choice highlights that the cries of an eyas hawk do not typically frighten birds because these young hawks lack the established reputation and hunting prowess of mature raptors. Birds in the field and forest often do not associate the calls of an eyas, which is still in the learning phase and has not yet become a serious threat, with danger.

Young hawks, being less experienced in hunting, may not trigger an immediate fear response from potential prey. Wildlife has a complex understanding of their environments, and young birds of prey do not pose the same level of threat as adult hawks. Therefore, the cries of an eyas hawk generally do not instigate a panicked flight response among birds or other small game, as they may not recognize it as a signal of imminent danger.

In contrast, options that suggest the cries will cause instant flight, only spook larger game, or depend on the specific species of game do not accurately reflect the behavior of both the hawks and their potential prey in such situations.
