I ain't no dove With my sharp-hooked beak and talons like a saw I'm a predatory bird that they call Raptor! Yo, here's a shout out to my raptor crew The Northern Harrier, ain't no-one like you The Snowy Owl with the face of a ghost And you know, the Bald Eagle deserves a toast Three kindsa' hawks including the kites, Buteos, accipiters ownin' the heights And of course, the falcons have earned their place As the speediest demons in the raptor race! *Osprey intro*: Gotta make way....for the Osprey (x2) I'm the awesome Osprey, a hunter like no other Especially when I become a busy mother A nest full o' chicks eats a whole lotta fish I gotta' work hard to deliver the dish I hover really high up above the water Pumpin' my wings like an Osprey oughta' When I see somethin' stirrin' down below I stop, I drop, I hook it and I go! *Goshawk intro:* Omigosh, Omigosh.....it's a Goshawk (2) Omigosh, Omigosh, I'm a Goshawk Among bird lovers, I'm the talk of the talk I'm seldom seen, though the size of a crow I'm one of those accipiters, you know That means I eat birds and I live in the forest Along with the Cooper's and Sharp-shinned, of course I'm a fighter pilot...extraordinaire Snatchin' my prey right outta' thin air *Buteo intro*: Shake your but-, shake your but-, shake your but-e-o! (x2) I'm a but-, I'm a but-, I'm a but-e-o I'm good at soarin' and sailin' on the flow Of the warm air that rises from the earth I ride those thermals for all they're worth I got a broad tail and nice, wide wings In fact, my popular name's Broad-winged Hawk, that is, and my buteo brothers Are Red-shouldered and -tailed among others Have you heard of us raptors that fit in your hand? The cutest little raptors in all the land But don't be fooled by our tiny charms We still can inflict some serious harm We are the pygmy, burrowing and elf Owls, and we do not belong on the shelf! The pygmy's got eyes in the back of his head They might be phoney but they'll fill you with dread! (0) Add Comment •
