I've been reading from some Falconers, that Accipters are Cooper's Hawk, Goshawk, and Sharp-sinned, and that Buteos are mainly just Eagles. However in the Peterson's Field guide to North American Birds of Prey, Buteos are basically all the hawks except the aforementioned Accipters, with Falcons being Peregrins
Gyrfalcons, merlins and Kestrels. I've read elsewhere that kestrels and merlins are Accipters? Very confusing classifications, are they different? Biological versus Falconry terms for classifications for the birds?
Elsewhere, GLFA calls eagles Buteos?
Whats the real deal with classification of Birds of Prey?
