A202 Avian Raptors
It has long been known 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,
harriers, vultures, owls and others. Each group has an introductory
caption that summarizes its unique characteristics. Each bird is
identified by both its common and scientific name. Whenever
possible, North American species are shown. Great care went into
selecting the flight poses as they reflect the hunting style of each
bird. |
