RIS is a keyworded catalog of over 40,000 references about the biology and management of birds of prey. It includes books, articles, theses, government reports, and other gray literature regarding raptors worldwide.

You can search by author, title, keyword, year of publication... or any combination of these fields. You can also search for articles on a particular raptor species by typing in the genus and the species or by referring to an extensive 4,000 keyword list.

PLEASE NOTE

The Raptor Information System (RIS) collection and bibliographic database have been transferred to The Peregrine Fund.  The RIS records are gradually being subsumed into the bibliography posted on the website of the Global Raptor Information Network (GRIN) (www.globalraptors.org), just as the paper copies from the RIS are being integrated into The Peregrine Fund Research Library collections. 

 

Currently you may continue use this RIS website to search for literature, and you may use GRIN website (www.globalraptors.org) site for additional searching.

 

Requests for publications may be sent to library@peregrinefund.org.
