Red Dead Redemption 2 Bird of Prey Locations – Eagle, Hawk, Owl

Where to find birds of prey in RDR2?

Since the game doesn’t specify which birds of prey you need to kill, you can mix and match as you like. You’ll find the most eagles on the eastern coast of lake Owanjila, near the western edge of the map. There’s also a group living by the Dakota River, halfway between Valentine and Strawberry. The last hotspot is in the northeastern corner of the map, near Annesburg. Hawks are a bit more rare – you’ll find a group by the river southwest of Strawberry, and another by the Elysian Pool, the small lake southwest of Annesburg. Your best bet might actually be owls – there’s a large piece of land west of Blackwater where you can find a whole bunch of them, but they only come out at night.

Since you need to hunt them with a tomahawk, which is not the easiest weapon to handle, you might want to lure them in using bait. For instance, you can leave a freshly killed deer in a hawk habitat, and watch it from a safe distance. A bird should come soon enough to feed. Owls go for smaller prey, so leave a squirrel or a rabbit and your target should bite the bait.
