Birds of Prey - Raptors and Skilled Carnivores
Britanica [AI] defines a Bird of Prey as any bird that pursues other animals for food. All birds of prey have hook-tipped beaks and sharp curved claws called talons. Diurnal birds of prey—hawks, eagles, vultures, and falcons (Falconiformes)—are also called raptors, which comprise more than 500 species. The condors (species of vultures) and the eagles are the largest and strongest members of this group, and they are among the largest and strongest of all living birds. The nocturnal birds of prey are the owls (Strigiformes), a group made up of more than 200 species.

For me, I include some pictures of officially non-raptors who are skilled carnivores in this section.
