Raptors are birds of prey, they hunt and feed on other animals. Generally these birds have good eyesight and powerful talons and beaks. The good vision allows them to detect prey during flight. The strong talons allows the bird to hold its prey and their strong curved beak allows them to tear the flesh of its prey.
Here are photos of the raptors I have so far managed to photograph.
