What is a raptor biologist?

A Raptor Biologist studies birds of prey, such as eagles, hawks, falcons, and owls, focusing on their behavior, ecology, conservation, and population dynamics. They conduct field research, monitor raptor populations, and contribute to habitat conservation efforts. Their work often involves tracking migrations, banding birds, and assessing environmental threats like habitat loss or climate change. Raptor Biologists may work for government agencies, conservation organizations, or research institutions.
