Raptors - birds of prey that hunt during the day - include easily
recognizable birds like eagles, hawks, or falcons. They may be seen
perched on highway signs, electrical poles, or soaring overheard in
urban and rural spaces across North America. Here, avian ecology
and raptor experts Craig Farquhar and Clint Boal present the first
comprehensive volume on these birds of prey in Texas. Given the
state's size, location, and biodiversity, it is not surprising that
Texas leads other states in the documented number of raptor
occurrence.The introductory chapters of Raptors of Texas provide
information on raptor ecology, evolution, behavior, morphology, and
the unique conservation challenges raptors face. Detailed species
descriptions of the most common raptors in Texas come next,
illustrated with life-like graphite drawings and range maps.
Additionally, short entries for rare raptors sighted in the state
are provided. This reference is a must-have for serious birders,
ornithologists, avian ecologists, and wildlife professionals who
want to know more about these birds of prey and the important roles
they play in our urban and rural environments alike.
