I'm reading "Eagles, Hawks and Falcons" by David Hollands, and I'm wondering 
about the title. It covers all Australian diurnal raptors, but he doesn't 
specify which species he has classified as an eagle, a hawk, or a falcon, or 
even discuss the matter.

If "falcons" covers the family Falconidae, and "eagles" covers Little and 
Wedge-tailed Eagles, and White-bellied Sea-Eagle, does that mean everything 
else is a hawk?
