Red-Tailed Hawk

The most common hawk in North America, red-tails can often be seen atop utility poles and other lofty perches, on the lookout for potential prey.



Great Horned Owl

The most common owl in North and South America, the great horned owl has adapted to a wide variety of habitats and climates.



Peregrine Falcon

Once an endangered species in the United States, North American peregrine falcon populations have made a great comeback due to bans on usage of DDT and similar pesticides.



Steller's Sea Eagle

Holding its prey down with powerful talons, a Steller's sea eagle displays its wings, which can have a span of over 6 feet (2 meters).



Snowy Owl

The snowy owl's beautiful white plumage helps to hide it in its Arctic habitat. Only the males are completely white. Chicks are dark and spotted, while the females are white with spots on their wings.



Boreal Owl

This small, secretive owl is considered one of the rarest of owls. It is entirely nocturnal, spending the day concealed in dense spruce or a hollow tree. It preys mainly on rodents.
