Raptors are birds of prey like owls, hawks and falcons, and there are many raptor species that we can expect to find around us, if we know how to look for them. We will learn where to look for raptors, how to observe and compare their shape, colors, markings and movement characteristics to recognize them. We will also learn to name raptors that we cannot see but just hear, by the calls they make.
