What is the maximum altitude of the bird hawk?

The maximum altitude at which hawks can fly varies by species, but many can soar at impressive heights. For example, the common red-tailed hawk has been recorded flying at altitudes up to 10,000 feet (3,000 meters). Some species, like the golden eagle, can reach even higher, soaring above 15,000 feet (4,600 meters) during migrations. However, these altitudes are generally not sustained, as hawks typically prefer lower altitudes for hunting and nesting.
