Yes, there are birds of prey. Volume 1 has vultures and raptors. Volume 2 has owls. Entries are arranged taxonomically based on the new classification of the American Ornithologists' Union. These books are in used, but excellent condition. My wife Pam used these when she was a Naturalist for a Nature Center in Michigan. The only writing inside is Pam's signature on the inside cover of the second volume.
