North American birds of prey are also known as raptors, and their unique characteristics help them to hunt prey. Raptors also have the best eyesight and the sharpest hearing in the animal kingdom. Raptors include eagles, hawks, falcons and owls, and this presentation will incorporate five live birds and give an overview of these different birds of prey. Students will learn about predation, the raptors’ place at the top of the food web, their different hunting adaptations, and their often endangered status in a rapidly changing world.
