* Hawks and falcons differ in that falcons are smaller, slimmer, and faster flying. Eagles are much larger and more powerful than hawks, and many prefer fish to prey like mice and birds.

Eagle: A large bird with long, broad wing span and massive feet. They are seen soaring high in the sky, flapping low over treetops with slow wingbeats, or perched in trees or on the ground. They scavenge many meals by harassing other birds or by eating carrion or garbage. They eat mainly fish, but also hunt mammals, gulls, and waterfowl.

 

Falcon: A medium-size bird of prey with long pointy wings and tends to be a very swift flier. Falcons catch smaller birds in the air with swift, spectacular dives, called stoops. In cities they are masterful at catching pigeons. Elsewhere they feed especially on shorebirds and ducks. They often sit on high perches, waiting for the right opportunity to make their aerial assault.
