Email The Conservancy Birds of Prey Meet the Stars FAQ ... eMail me for New Password (Subscribers) Home-> About birds-> An introduction to Birds of Prey An introduction to Birds of Prey Raptors are one of the most successful and widely distributed bird groups in the world. Raptors are found on every continent (except Antarctica) and in virtually every habitat type on the planet. There are currently two main groups or orders: Falconiformes (diurnal or daytime raptors) and Strigiformes (owls). Their variety is stunning, with more than 300 species of diurnal raptors and more than 200 species of owls. Before going into the various groups, what is a 'raptor'? What does it mean? The word raptor comes from a Latin word, raptare , meaning to seize or plunder. It is a general term used to cover all birds of prey. Given the highly predatory nature of many birds in this group, it is a very appropriate word to use. There are four main orders 1) New World Vultures ( Catharditae in the order Ciconiiformes 2a) Hawks and relations ( Accipitridae in the order Accipitriformes 2b) Ospreys ( Panionidae, also in the order Accipitriformes

29. Birds Of Prey Most diurnal birds of prey are monogamous. Some birds keep the same mate for birds of prey establish territories and breed in the same general area http://www.seaworld.org/animal-info/info-books/raptors/reproduction.htm

Reproduction A. Sexual maturity. 1. In general, smaller species begin breeding at an earlier age than larger species. a. Small Accipiter hawks, falcons, and harriers usually start to breed at one to two years. b. Buteo hawks, kites, and large falcons breed at two or three years. Ospreys begin breeding at three or more years. c. Large eagles usually start to breed at four to nine years, and vultures up to 12 years. 2. First-time breeding may be delayed if competition for food is high or territories are unavailable. B. Reproductive behavior. 1. Most diurnal birds of prey are monogamous. Some birds keep the same mate for several years, such as ospreys, while others have different mates each year, such as snail kites. In some groups of Harris' hawks, monogamous breeding pairs are assisted by a number of nonbreeding helpers, mostly previous offspring. 2. A few species are polygynous or polyandrous. a. Polygyny is when a male mates with more than one female at a time. Many harriers are polygynous. b. Polyandry is when a female mates with more than one male at a time. Polyandry has been observed in populations of Harris' hawks and Galapagos hawks

30. Birds Of Prey In general, the bodies of diurnal birds of prey are fusiform in shape (roundedand tapering at both ends). This body shape reduces drag while flying. http://www.seaworld.org/infobooks/Raptors/birdphysical.html

Physical Characteristics A. Size. 1. One of the smallest diurnal birds of prey is the pygmy falcon (Polihierax semitorquatus) of Africa, which reaches a weight of about 60 g (2.1 oz.) and has a wingspan of about 0.3 m (1 ft.) (Pickford and Tarboton, 1989). The smallest North American diurnal bird of prey is the American kestrel. American kestrels weigh about 120 g (4.2 oz.) and have a wingspan of about 0.2 m (0.7 ft.) (Johnsgard, 1990). 2. The largest diurnal bird of prey is the Andean condor, which weighs up to 14 kg (31 lb.) and has a wing span of up to 3.2 m (10.5 ft.). The largest North American bird of prey is the California condor with a wingspan of up to 2.9 m (9.5 ft.) (Martin, 1987). The tallest diurnal bird of prey is the secretary bird with a height of up to 1.3 m (4.3 ft.) (Pickford and Tarboton, 1989). 3. Most species, like Cooper's hawks, are sexually dimorphic (males and females are distinctly different in appearance). In diurnal birds of prey, males and females are usually similar in coloration, but the females are often larger than the males in size. In general, species feeding on carrion, like turkey vultures, show no sexual dimorphism. B. Body shape.

31. Owls general Resources on birds/Owls, Gander Academy s Crest birds of prey, owlsalong with hawks, eagles and falcons, consitute a group called raptors http://www.cdli.ca/CITE/owls_general.htm

Featured in Sept. 2001 Gander Academy's General Resources on Birds/Owls Owls Theme Page Student Activity Sheets Support Web Page Owl Facts Have you ever heard that an owl can turn its head completely around? Or that owls are blind in daylight? Or that the feather tufts on an owl's head are its ears? Or that if you hear an owl it means bad luck? These are all misconceptions that have been passed down through generations. How Owls See and Hear An owl's eyes are fixed, so it cannot move its eyes from side to side as a person can; if an owl wants to look at something off to one side, it has to move its entire head. But what the owl can do, thanks to specialized neck bones and muscles, is move its head rapidly, far to either side, increasing its field of vision to 270 degrees. That's almost 3/4 of a circle. Encyclopedia: Owls Owls utilize virtually all habitats, from grassland and tundra to dense woodland and rain forest. The distribution and density of most species apparently are limited by the availability of suitable nesting sites, rather than by the number of potential prey animals. Owl Factsheet Birds of prey, owls along with hawks, eagles and falcons, consitute a group called "raptors" whose members are distinguished because they have talons (sharp claws) on their feet for catching prey and hooked beaks for tearing it apart. Owls, however, are only distantly related to their daytime counterparts. They are more closely related to other nighttime (nocturnal) birds like whip-poor-wills.

http://birdsofprey.ws This site is maintained by John Battalio. I work in the Technical Communication Program at Boise State University in Boise, Idaho. Email me . I'd like to hear from you! I've been interested in raptors and other birds of prey for about eighteen years. I've conducted hawk watches in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas for the Hawk Migration Association of North America (HMANA); was the Western editor of Hawk Migration Studies , HMANA's journal, for ten years; and was on its Board of Directors for a term. I'm most familiar with the migrations of Broad-winged Hawks, Mississippi Kites, and Red-tailed Hawks over the central and western U.S. Gulf Coast. The most exciting experience I've had was at Hazel Bazemore County Park in Corpus Christi, Texas, where tens of thousands of Broad-winged Hawks are visible in late September. If you spend a week or so there between the 19th and 28th of the month, I'll guarantee you'll be amazed at what you'll see.

MAIN FEATURES REVIEWS ADVICE ... SUBSCRIBE mmmB.o.P: Birds of Prey by Johnathan Mason , JapaNerd Staff Writer October 13, 2002 + Chico, CA Give 'em the Bird The practice of remixing an established mythos to produce a new series must be one of the Hollywood power executive's most tried-and-true methods, a procedure as basic to Hollywood deal-makers as "kidnap the hero's love interest" must be for villains. And loathe as I am to admit it, I see their point - new shows based on old material have a built-in fanbase, and has the potential of reaching an entirely new audience. Yet remixing comics for a mass consumer audience is an uphill battle, as normally the built-in fanbase feels cheated by this watered-down version served to the general populace, who usually ignore the show anyways. Previous attempts show the ratio of misses far outstrips the hits in the category of superhero shows. For every DC cartoon like Batman or the current Justice League , there's the embarrassingly hokey Lois and Clark or I Was A Teenage Superman drama of Smallville . For every X-Men , there's an X-Men: Evolution . For every The Tick , there's... well, there's

35. The National Birds Of Prey Centre I also have the largest and most successful collection of birds of prey in the but we also take out members of the general public to see the birds work, http://www.huntinginquiry.gov.uk/evidence/natbirdsprey.htm

Back to the List of Submissions Menu Back to the Written Evidence Menu Submission from the National Birds of Prey Centre February 12, 2000 Dear Lord Burns, I am writing to you re the inquiry that you are heading on Hunting. Although I do not hunt regularly, I have lived in the country almost all my life, I have had horses and have hunted, I have six labradors who will on occasion chase the odd rabit while out for a walk. I also have the largest and most successful collection of birds of prey in the world. I have written six books on the subject and recently recieved an MBE for services to bird conservation. You might wonder why then am I writing about hunting. We also partake in hunting in the form of falconry and we not only hunt ourselves, but we also take out members of the general public to see the birds work, hunt and kill their intended quarry, upwards of 500 individuals per year. We are often faced with people who start out by being rabidly anti fox hunting and indeed most forms of hunting but who, after seeing the birds work and on occasion kill, have a complete change of heart when seeing how hunting, at least with raptors, really works. I don't need to tell you that if fox hunting is banned tomorrow not one less fox will be killed. It is the method that people are concerned about. They don't understand the number of hounds used, the uniform worn, the people who partake or the reasons behind it. Apart from the fact that they consider it to be a class problem. Personally I have always thought that the sort of things golfers wear to be pretty odd, but have never been upset about it. Oddly though, people do seem to accept falconry much more readily, thinking that it is a fairer way of hunting. Which in fact it often is not.
