scopeNote

Birds of prey, also known as raptors, are divided into two main groups, the diurnal (day flying) birds of prey and the nocturnal (night flying) birds of prey, better known as the owls. Martial Eagle Raptors, like all other living organisms, were originally classified by anatomical, structural (their physical shape or build), or ecological (their environmental) characteristics (i.e. raptors were birds with clawed feet, sharply curved beaks, and that ate meat). The original classification system has seen many changes in recent years, especially with advances in genetic research, and as such, the classification system is subject to frequent and on-going updates as new research studies emerge. http://www.raptorresearchfoundation.org/education/raptor-world RD
