Birds of Prey Puzzles

Eagle, Hawk and Falcon Jigsaw Puzzles

This collection gathers the daytime hunters: eagles, hawks, falcons and the osprey.

• Bald eagle puzzles: a nest in an old cottonwood, fishing an Alaskan river, a pair at a winter roost.

Six more scenes complete it: a golden eagle in the mountain wind, a red-tailed hawk over the prairie, a hawk in an autumn woodland, a peregrine falcon on a cliff ledge, a kestrel on a fence wire and an osprey diving at a lake.

The peregrine falcon is the fastest animal on record in its hunting dive, and the American kestrel is the smallest falcon in North America.

Which Piece Count? Raptor scenes often set one bird against a wide sky or canyon. Build the feathers and hooked beak first and keep the open sky for last; at 1000 pieces it becomes the real test.

Owls are birds of prey too, with their own owl puzzles. For another bird that dives for fish, see our kingfisher puzzles, or browse all bird jigsaw puzzles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a bird of prey?

A bird that hunts with sharp talons and a hooked beak, guided by keen eyesight. Eagles, hawks, falcons and the osprey hunt by day; most owls hunt at night.

How do you tell a hawk from a falcon?

Falcons have long, pointed wings built for speed, while hawks such as the red-tailed hawk have broader, rounded wings for soaring.

How does an osprey catch fish?

It hovers over the water, then plunges feet first and grabs the fish in its talons.
