Bird of Prey is the second studio album by the American rock band Zozobra. The album was released on August 5, 2008, through Hydra Head Records. Bird of Prey was largely written and performed by Caleb Scofield with Isis member Aaron Harris performing drums.[5] Harris replaces drummer Santos Montano from Zozobra's debut album Harmonic Tremors because he and Scofield had wanted to record together for a while, and Scofield had always envisioned the band with a revolving cast of musicians.[6]
