 * They are different orders. That source is very out of date. Once all the raptors were included in a single order, Falconiformes, but it was found that falcons are not closely related to eagles, hawks and vultures. The latter were placed in the new order Accipitriformes. The New World Vultures sometimes get put in their own order. —  Jts1882 &#124; talk 08:25, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: New World Vultures having their own order doesn't require changing the template for Accipitriformes, there's a separate taxonomy template for Cathartiformes GiovanniSidwell (talk) 00:09, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
