Raptor silhouettes

I found an image of bird of prey silhouettes that might come in handy for those who struggle with diurnal raptor IDs in flight...(myself included, sometimes). Since raptors are usually seen flying away or over our heads, this is a great way to at least narrow down the choices:

Harriers and osprey are in their own families and are not included here. Though they should have been. And vultures are not represented, either. Just think of an eagle with a teeny head.

Print it out and stick it in your field guide...
