ohrozila

Ohrozila is a genus of small to medium-sized birds of prey in the family Accipitridae, native to the Americas. The name "ohrozila" is derived from the Russian word "ohrozit," which means "to threaten" or "to menace," reflecting the aggressive nature of these birds. The genus includes two species: the Northern Harrier (Circus hudsonius) and the Sharp-shinned Hawk (Accipiter striatus).

Northern Harriers are known for their distinctive white rump and tail, which is a diagnostic feature for identifying this species. They are primarily insectivorous, feeding on a variety of insects and small vertebrates. Sharp-shinned Hawks, on the other hand, are smaller and more agile, with a distinctive white patch on their chest. They are also insectivorous but are known to take small birds and mammals as well.

Both species are migratory, breeding in North America and wintering in the southern United States and Central America. They are typically solitary birds, except during the breeding season when pairs may remain together. Ohrozila species are generally considered to be of least concern by conservation organizations, as their populations are stable and they are not facing significant threats. However, habitat loss and degradation due to human activities can pose a threat to their populations in the future.
