Birds of Prey

Picture
Birds of prey, also known as raptors, are birds in the Order Falconifomes, hawks, falcons, kites and eagles and the Order Strigiformes which contains the owls. I have worked with birds of prey since practicing falconry in high school, I studied falconry at the Falconry of Ireland and my graduate degree thesis is Ecology of the White-tailed Kite in San Diego County. You can learn about some of Alaska's raptors by clicking on the links below:
