Summary:
A visually stunning, comprehensive resource on
North
America
's
birds
of
prey
.
Always a popular group of
birds
, raptors symbolize freedom and fierceness, and in Pete Dunne's definitive guide, these traits are portrayed in hundreds of stunning color photographs showing raptors up close, in flight, and in action--fighting, hunting, and nesting. These photographs enhance the text, which goes far beyond identification to cover raptor ecology, behavior, conservation, and much more. In returning to his forte and his first love, Pete Dunne has crafted a benchmark book on raptors: the first place to turn for any question about these
birds
, whether it's what they eat, where they live, or how they behave. -- from jacket.
