FAMILY ACCIPITRIDAE

The accipitrids are a family of small to large birds with strongly hooked bills and variable morphology based on diet.
They feed on a range of prey items from insects to medium-sized mammals, with a number feeding on carrion
and a few feeding on fruit. The Accipitridae have a cosmopolitan distribution, being found on all
the world's continents (except Antarctica) and a number of oceanic island groups. Some species are migratory.
