With their legendary nocturnal behavior, a preference for remote
habitats, changing migratory patterns, and swift flight speeds,
birds of prey are particularly difficult to identify and track.
"Hawks and Owls of Eastern North America" depicts the subtle
differences and rich diversity among these magnificent birds.
Precise identification notes and more than 200 crisp, clean
photographs aid in quick and accurate classifications of a variety
of raptors.
The book profiles 39 species among the New World vultures,
osprey, kites, eagles, hawks and allies, falcons, owls and
vagrants.
A number of features make this book especially useful:
Descriptions are concisely organized and show sexual dimorphism,
seasonal and immature plumage, and distinctive markings Photographs
show the birds in their natural environments through the seasons
Range maps show where each species is normally found, increasing
the probability of a sighting Comparison charts with "look-alike"
birds grouped on a single page are a distinct advantage when trying
to identify a quick-flying hawk.
With 16 additional new pages and over 200 photographs, this
edition of "Hawks and Owls of Eastern North America" is
indispensable to naturalists and birders.
