Cover: A red kite (Milvus milvus) uses its keen eyes to scan for prey. Many raptors, such as the red kite, use vision to find and catch rodents and songbirds. Raptors have ultraviolet-sensitive photoreceptors, but how sensitive these receptors are and how they are used in foraging has been unclear. Lind et al. (pp. 1819−1826) show that raptors have low ultraviolet sensitivity compared with other bird species and?that raptors probably rely little on ultraviolet vision for finding prey.
