Abstract:

Raptors are birds of prey and include eagles, owls, and hawks. These predators sit at the top of the ornithological food chain. Many of them are injured in the wild, either by accident or by being shot or trapped. The latter activities are in violation of the Federal Migratory Bird Act. The authors describe how these injured birds are rehabilitated.
