First Look at Owls, Eagles, and Other Hunters of the Sky

Who are the hunters of the sky? They are the owls that hunt by night and the eagles and hawks that hunt by day. They are called birds of prey because they live on animals they catch with strong claws and hooked beaks. How do we tell them apart? This book describes what scientists look for when they classify birds of prey. illustrations are closely linked to the text to encourage observation and to help distinguish one bird of prey from another.
