Description

Including over two dozen colored plates of birds of prey like the Red-Tailed Buzzard, Winter Falcon, Snowy Owl and Sparrow Hawk, Our Birds of Prey was originally published in 1876 to help better educate forest rangers, bird lovers and avid birdwatchers alike. While the term "bird of prey" may suggest that birds in this category hunt and feed on animals or insects, ornithologists classify birds of prey as birds that have very keen eyesight for finding food, strong feet for holding food and a strong curved beak for tearing flesh. This classification includes vultures and buzzards, birds that do not traditionally "hunt" for their food, and excludes birds like storks, gulls, penguins and kookaburras, birds that prey on fish and insects, but lack hunting qualities like superior eyesight and beak strength.
