The red-tailed hawks in Minnesota weigh around 2.4 lbs with a wingspan of 49 inches. The rough-legged hawk is similar in size with enough variation that one cannot be declared larger. Ferruginous hawks weigh about 1 lb more and on average have a 6 inch greater wingspan but are relatively uncommon in Minnesota (Sibley, 2000).
