Category:Accipitriformes

These are Accipitriformes, an order of birds that includes most of the diurnal birds of prey, which includes eagles, hawks, vultures and related.

Falcons were once considered to be a part of this order, but recent DNA studies have shown them to not be related to the Accipitriformes, instead being more closely related to the parrots and the Passerine birds. They are now their own separate order, known as the Falconiformes.
