A rare invitation into the mysterious lives of owls around the
world, with spectacularly revealing photographs and fascinating
details Perhaps no other creature has so compelling a gaze as the
owl. Its unblinking stare mesmerizes; its nocturnal lifestyle
suggests secrets and mystery. This lavishly illustrated book
celebrates owls from every corner of the world and offers abundant
details on fifty-three of the most striking and interesting
species, from the tiny Elf Owl of southwestern American deserts to
the formidable Blakiston's Fish Owl, the largest of all owls. Mike
Unwin has long studied and admired these remarkable birds from cold
northern forests to tropical rivers and beyond. He explains how
owls evolved into the supreme feathered predators of the night, and
he examines their breeding and hunting behaviors, unusual calls,
and the cultural myths and superstitions that surround different
species. More than two hundred dramatic color photographs in the
wild, taken or selected by David Tipling, capture the wondrous
beauty of each owl and the drama of life in its own home region.
