Raptors, Here We Come!
Raptors are birds that are predatory, meaning that they are predators. There are five basic groups of raptors:
- Hawks (Red-Tailed Hawk)
- Vultures (Turkey Vulture)
- Falcons (Prairie Falcon)
- Owls (Spotted Owl)
- Eagles (Golden Eagle)
There's an easy way to ID raptors when they are flying high in the sky. You can ID them by how they fly and look if you are close to them. Hawk: Short, broader wings and a fanned out tail. Vultures: Long, broad(not like the hawk) wings and the wings wobble when the vulture soars in the sky. Falcon: Big wings and falcons have big, black patches under their eyes. Isn't it neat so far? :) I don't know all of the details yet, but I'll research it, promise! Raptors rock!!!!
