There are over 250 species of mostly diurnal Birds of Prey worldwide that are collectively known as Accipiters and include Eagles,
Hawks, Kites, and Old World Vultures. They typically have a sharply hooked beak, long broad wings suitable for soaring flight,
and strong legs with an opposable hind claw for grasping prey.
