Ecología trófica de Falconiformes y Strigiformes: tiempo de síntesis
El Hornero, 2007 Although there is abundant information about food habits of raptors around the world, available data on this topic in Argentina are scarce and biased. The aim of this work is to summarize the current knowledge about the trophic ecology of raptor birds in Argentina. We present a review of the published information on diet, hunting strategy and behaviour,
