Which hawk notably uses sound to locate its prey?

The Marsh hawk, also known as the Northern harrier, is particularly known for its reliance on sound to locate prey. This hawk has a unique hunting strategy that includes flying low over open fields and marshes, where it can detect the sounds made by hidden prey, such as rodents and small birds. Its keen auditory capabilities allow it to pinpoint the location of these animals, even when they are obscured by grass or other vegetation. This adaptation enhances its hunting efficiency in its preferred habitats.

The other hawks listed, while also skilled hunters, do not emphasize sound in the same way as the Marsh hawk. The Sharp-shinned hawk often relies on surprise and agility to catch small birds, while the Red-tailed hawk typically uses its excellent eyesight to spot prey from high perches. The term "Vote Cabe" does not pertain to any recognized species of hawk, making it an incorrect choice.
