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.
