About Eagles & Birds of Prey
High above open country, a raptor reads the air the way a sailor reads the sea, tilting one wingtip to catch a rising thermal, spiraling upward without a single wingbeat. Eagles, falcons, hawks, and condors share a gift for stillness in motion: locked wings, sharp eyes scanning hundreds of feet below for the faintest rustle in the grass. That combination of power and precision has made birds of prey a symbol of freedom and wildness on every continent where they fly.
