Raptors are an unusual success story of wildness thriving in the
heart of our cities--they have developed substantial populations
around the world in recent decades. But there are deeper issues
around how these birds make their urban homes. New research
provides insight into the role of raptors as vital members of the
urban ecosystem and future opportunities for protection,
management, and environmental education. A cutting-edge synthesis
of over two decades of scientific research, Urban Raptors is the
first book to offer a complete overview of urban ecosystems in the
context of bird-of-prey ecology and conservation. This
comprehensive volume examines urban environments, explains why some
species adapt to urban areas but others do not, and introduces
modern research tools to help in the study of urban raptors. It
also delves into climate change adaptation, human-wildlife
conflict, and the unique risks birds of prey face in urban areas
before concluding with real-world wildlife management case studies
and suggestions for future research and conservation efforts. Boal
and Dykstra have compiled the go-to single source of information on
urban birds of prey. Among researchers, urban green space planners,
wildlife management agencies, birders, and informed citizens alike,
Urban Raptors will foster a greater understanding of birds of prey
and an increased willingness to accommodate them as important
members, not intruders, of our cities.
