"Jerry Liguori has spent most of the last twenty years in the field
watching and photographing hawks, and thousands of hours poring
over photos and research to piece the puzzle of identification
together. The result . . . is this guide, which is the most
detailed and confident explanation yet of the myriad clues that
lead to successful identification of hawks. This book is the first
of its kind that deals with the real-world problems of identifying
flying raptors from different angles. . . . The understanding of
what hawkwatchers actually face in the field comes through on every
page."--David A. Sibley, author of the National Audubon Society's
"The Sibley Guide to Birds"
"There is nobody in North America whose identification skills
and knowledge base concerning the flight identification of birds of
prey surpasses Jerry Liguori. If you want to know where the high
water mark in raptor identification falls today, it is in your
hands. If you aspire to pin names to birds that fly just this side
of the limit of conjecture with a high degree of confidence, start
reading."--Pete Dunne, Vice President of Natural History
Information, New Jersey Audubon Society, coauthor of "Hawks in
Flight"
"We have all been perplexed and downright dumbfounded trying to
identify flying raptors when seen at odd, but regularly viewed
angles! Such difficult angles often offer only glimpses of
identification markings shown in typical raptor field guides and
bird guides. This impressive book, with its superb collection of
color and black and white photographs and concise and informative
data, tackles raptor identification problems that hawkwatchers face
under real field conditions. Jerry Liguori has created abook that
can easily be toted in the field, and is an absolute must-have for
any raptor enthusiast!"--Brian K. Wheeler, author of "Raptors of
Eastern/Western North America," illustrator and coauthor of "A
Field Guide to Hawks of North America"
"Jerry Liguori has long been one of our best raptor experts, and
this stunning book proves it yet again. Depicting hawks in the real
world, in the hawkwatching arena-and not in an idealized situation
that rarely occurs-is this book's forte. Comparisons, contrasts,
key points, and even potential pitfalls are highlighted in the
excellent photos-and set the book apart. There are a number of
raptor guides available, but we finally have one that shows hawks
as they are truly seen in the field."--Clay Sutton, coauthor of
"Hawks in Flight" and "How to Spot Hawks and Eagles"
""Hawks from Every Angle" takes in-flight identification further
than any previous book. Being a seasoned hawkwatcher, I can attest
to the accuracy and usefulness of the material presented. Until
now, much of the information herein has resided only in the heads
of very experienced hawkwatchers and some of it, in the heads of
only one or two very experienced hawkwatchers. Well organized and
well written."--Tony Leukering, Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory
""Hawks from Every Angle" will be quite useful to those seeking
a better understanding of the field identification of raptors
rather than a feather-by-feather description of plumages.
Ultimately, birders want to know which species they are seeing, and
this book will guide them to the correct identification."--Brian L.
Sullivan, Cornell Lab of Ornithology
