Bird Alphabet A is for Accipitridae

Accipitridae Birds - (vertebrate zoology) The diurnal birds of prey, the largest and most diverse family of the order Falconiformes, including hawks, eagles, and kites.

Powerful predators with broad wings, hooked beaks, strong legs and feet, sharp talons, and keen sight; carnivorous hunters and scavengers.

Most hawks and eagles are active by day, usually during the period when their prey is most mobile. Some of the largest species are dependent on the heat of the day to create thermals to help them get them airborne and carry them high and far. When resting they perch quietly, often in a sheltered position on a cliff or among foliage. At the perch, they spend considerable time in feather maintenance, keeping their plumage clean, parasite free, and well aligned. Most species have an oil gland at the base of the tail from which they spread oil through the feathers, although a few, such as the Elanus kites, have powder down (special feathers that flake into a fine powder that is spread through the plumage to clean it). Many species bathe, sometimes by flying through wet foliage but mostly by wading into water.

The majority of hawks and eagles are solitary but several are colonial and hunt, roost, and breed in numbers. Even some solitary species, such as the steppe eagle (Aquila nipalensis), become more gregarious outside the breeding season and forage and roost with other individuals or species where food is plentiful.
