About

A broad group of hawks and harriers built for keen daylight hunting, using hooked bills and powerful grasping talons to take prey on the wing or by low, gliding ambush over open ground.

    A feathered juvenile fledges from the nest, learning to soar and to make its first kills.
  4. 4.
    adult
    Fully grown, hunting on its own with adult plumage.
