raptorial bird

Another raptorial bird of which the nest is likely to be found in January is the Turumti or red-headed merlin (Aesalon chicquera).

To every migratory species of raptorial bird, that captures living quarry, there is a non-migratory counterpart or near relative.

Another raptorial bird by no means unfrequently met with on the mountains is the Peregrine.

No matter how large a raptorial bird be, if its claws are small and feeble, it feeds either upon carrion or tiny creatures.

The smaller fry appear to look upon the raptorial bird in much the same light as children regard the “bogey man.”
