Full Description

The Family Accipitridae, commonly known as the "hawk family," is a group of birds of prey that includes eagles, hawks, kites, and harriers. These birds are characterized by their strong, hooked beaks and sharp talons, which they use to catch and kill their prey. They are found worldwide, except Antarctica, and are typically divided into two groups: Buteonine hawks, which are large and broad-winged, and Accipitrine hawks, which are smaller and have shorter wings. Many species within this family are top predators in their respective ecosystems and play important roles in maintaining ecological balance.
