| Contents Notes | Raptors in Ohio -- How to ID raptors -- Raptor types -- Ohio birding organizations -- Did you know? -- Glossary. "Most species of raptors survive by hunting one or more types of live animals for food. Other species survive by consuming animals that have already died, while still other species use a combination of hunting for live food and scavenging for dead animals. Predators help maintain the dynamic balance between habitats and the plant and animal life those habitats are capable of supporting. As predators and scavengers, raptors form vital links in the web of life. Although owls are also raptors, they are not included in this field guide."--Page 4 |
