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.
