America’s Birds of Prey

Published on May 19, 2012

Birds of prey are some of natures most cunning creatures, relying primarily on their razor sharp vision, beaks, and talons to survive. These physical characteristics are what define birds of prey, which include raptors as well as owls, the difference between them being whether they hunt during the night or during the day. Although they prefer mainly to hunt and kill their prey, nearly all species of raptors and owls will also eat carrion, the carcasses of dead animals. Once a bird of prey has a target, there is little the animal can do to escape. Birds of prey are swift, powerful, and silent killers, but their place at the top of the food chain often presents significant challenges to the conservation of their species. Here are just a few of the majestic birds of prey that can be found in North America.
