Birds are not particularly well suited to desert life. Unlike
mammals, they are generally active during the day and do not
usually go underground to escape the intense desert heat. Among the
few types of birds that have successfully invaded the desert
ecosystem are the predators. Many species of hawks, owls,
roadrunners, vultures, and shrikes survive very well in deserts.
What attributes make this group especially suited to desert life?
How have they augmented their abilities to cope with the harsh
constraints imposed by the desert habitat? These are among the
issues explored in this new volume, which brings together much of
the current research on adaptations of avian desert predators.
