Birds of Prey

An ever-growing collection of public domain illustrations of birds of prey. These vintage drawings and illustrations are of that class of birds that are meat eaters and prey on smaller birds and animals. Their sharp beaks and sharp claws or talons make birds of prey fairly easy to distinguish from other birds.

This is the place to check if you are looking for vulture pictures, hawk images and kite drawings for your creative projects.

Eagle images have their own section; be sure to check it out too.
