Abstract
We analyzed the mitotic chromosomes from a Red-tailed Hawk using G- and C-banding techniques. We found the Z chromosome to be the largest and the W chromosome to be the eighth largest. Other chromosomal characteristics and possible causes for incorrect sex chromosome identification in earlier reports are discussed.
