Book Reviews of Raptors: Birds of Prey
Book Review: Photographs alone worth the price of the book
Summary: 5 Stars
According to the blurb on the book cover, the author's interest in raptors "began at an early age when he started birding with his third-grade teacher" and now the author is founder and director of the Calif. Raptor Education Center.The photographs are exquisite, starting with the photo on the front cover -- a close-up, eye-to-eye view of a bald eagle.
The book has 4 parts:
1) Gifts of Birth (physical characteristics),
2) Struggle to Survive (migration, etc.),
3) Living in Balance (habitat destruction, accidents, etc.) and
4) the Future (which is more of a discussion of present actions being taken to preserve these birds).
Good for beginners (like me!), although a bibliography would have enhanced this book.
