To better understand the scanning techniques of a hawk, researchers mounted a camera on the head of a Northern Goshawk. Combined with footage of hunting raptors, gathered from the ground, authors found that hawks alter head movement patterns based on environmental information, with eye movement changing as a bird detects a potential target.
