This introductory guide to the fascinating world of birds of prey will help any enthusiast or student understand the diversity and beauty of these dinosaur descendants.
Golden Guides have a tradition of producing beautifully illustrated and well-informed nature guides, and Birds of Prey continues this tradition. Key species from every family have been selected, from the smallest Forest Falconet to the largest Eagle Owl. Interesting behavioral information, vital statistics, and ranges have also been included.
Special thanks must go to the artist, John Davis, for creating such excellent illustrations. He has managed to breathe life into these awe-inspiring birds.
I would also like to thank my partner, Olivia Lepri, for her patience and understanding while I took time out to write this book.
