Southeastern Arizona Bird Observatory's Hawk Stalk Photo Album
Harriers are unusual among hawks in using their ears more than their eyes to locate prey. The underlying structures of their owl-like facial disk (lower left) act like a parabolic microphone dish, collecting and concentrating sound. Unlike the fleet falcons they often resemble, the harriers' special talent is extremely slow flight, ...

Department of Energy - Solar
Concentrating solar power technologies use reflective materials to concentrate the sun's heat energy, which ultimately drives a generator to produce electricity. These technologies include dish/engine systems, parabolic troughs, and central power towers. Low-temperature solar collectors also absorb the sun's heat energy, but the heat is used directly for hot water or space ...
