David Lowe, of the National Aviary in Pittsburgh has a special love for birds, especially raptors. David works with over 600 different types of birds living at the aviary but raptors hold a special place in his heart because of their elusive nature. David shows us the fine details of what makes these spectacular birds so efficient at catching their prey; from eyesight which can spot a field mouse at distances beyond football field lengths to sharp talons and down-turned beaks which they use to pierce and eat their prey. He also explains why raptors are solitary birds that live a life that seems mysterious to humans. Every animal has its place in our natural world; join us as Dave introduces us to the world of the raptor.
