What features of the external structure are characteristic of birds of prey?

To survive, birds of prey must locate and capture prey. As a rule, these are large birds with highly developed muscles of the chest and legs, sharp eyesight in daytime predators (falcon, hawk, eagle), a short strong beak with a sharp end of the beak bent downward, with strong, bent back claws on the toes. In nocturnal birds of prey (owl, eagle owl), the eyes are directed forward, which allows them to determine the distance to the victim, the loose plumage provides a silent flight, sensitive hearing makes it possible to determine the location of the victim by sound.
