A202 Avian Raptors
It is well established that modern birds are the last living descendants of
the dinosaurs. This poster provides a comprehensive overview of the most
dinosaur-like birds, the birds of prey. Magnificent illustrations show hawks,
eagles, falcons, buzzards, vultures, owls, and the single harrier species.
Each group has an introductory caption that summarizes its unique characteristics.
Each bird is identified by both its common and scientific names.
Whenever possible, North American species are shown. Great care went
into selecting the flight poses, as they reflect the hunting style of each bird.
