Publisher Synopsis
Excellent... Earley's concise volume is well constructed and worth adding to any falconer or birder's library.--Matthew Mullenix "Hawk Chalk " Attractively illustrated with numerous excellent photographs, range maps, and brief descriptions of each age and sex class of the species considered.--Timothy C. Williams"Science Books and Films" (09/01/2004) Well organized and beautifully illustrated with many half-page images of the birds perched and in flight.--Pierre R. Gauthier"Canadian Camera" (09/01/2004) This is an excellent and useful raptor identification field guide.--Donald S. Heintzelman"International Hawkwatcher" (06/01/2005) [This book] is one of the best I have come across for identifying the species and learning something about them.... The 128-page book packs in much information and yet doesn't overwhelm the reader. I use it constantly when you call to ask about a hawk or owl identification. An excellent identification guide... the photos are well chosen... the text is clear and concise.-- (08/18/2004) A nice handy guide to hawks and owls, especially for beginners and less experienced birders... valuable reference.-- (06/01/2004) [Author] excels in teaching bird identification... especially helpful for the identification of hawks in flight... Recommended.-- (10/01/2004) The clarity of the photographs is astounding... highly recommended without reservation... charming and highly useful.-- (10/01/2004) A great book... Everything is just superb in an handy package that slips easily into my backpack.-- (04/24/2004) For those enthralled by birds of prey [this book] provides an invaluable guide.--Greensburg Tribune-Review (03/28/2004) Comprehensive information on North American birds of prey, packed in a colorful, easy-to-use format.--Nature Society News (05/01/2004) Essential reading for birders in Ontario, especially the Niagara Peninsula.--Globe and Mail (03/20/2004) Very quickly found a new home with my special books... greatly enhance ones ability to identify hawks and owls.-- (05/01/2004) Remarkably concise but information-packed guide... fabulous photos of each species show the difference between a young bird and an adult, between males and females, and how to spot a particular bird type when looking up from the ground to a bird soaring high above.-- (04/11/2004) Superb field guide... perhaps the most useful items are the comparison charts.... near-perfect photographs of a number of similar species.-- (12/01/2005) Read more...
