Characteristics of a bird:

Contour Feathers and weather proof shape is ideal for lift

down feathers insulation warmth

hollow bones for flight more aerodynamic better lift

4 chambered heart warm blooded high activity migration

nictitating membrane transparent eyelid

eggs with hard shell

Chemical concentrated in the hawk population. Chemical decreased the amount of calcium in the eggs, making them brittle. They could not longer reproduce at the same rate and populations decreased. osprey and bald eagle eat mostly fish for their diet and were more sensitive to the DDT as a result. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> ** Not affected **

They have a more diverse diet (bugs, insects, frogs,snakes birds, and rodents) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">

//** Characteristics of Bird of Prey **//

Curved Beak rip food

Sharp Talons Grip and carry prey

Keen eyesight Binocular vision 3d depth perception

Why do birds migrate?

lack of food in winter months go back to warmer climate

North in summer more food less competition for young
