I’m reading “Eagles, Hawks and Falcons” by David Hollands, and I’m wondering about the title. It covers all Australian diurnal raptors, but he doesn’t specify which species he has classified as an eagle, a hawk, or a falcon, or even discuss the matter.
If “falcons” covers the family Falconidae, and “eagles” covers Little and Wedge-tailed Eagles, and White-bellied Sea-Eagle, does that mean everything else is a hawk?
