Wild Guide Owls
de Cynthia Berger(Ed. Stackpole Books) Isbn : 0811732134
18.96 €
Owls are one of the groups of birds that almost anyone recognizes, and yet what do we really know about these nocturnal creatures? Nature writer Berger (Dragonflies,2004) has produced a wonderfully complete yet compact introduction to owls. The distinctive traits that differentiate owls from other birds, including soft feathers for silent flight, keen vision and sensitive hearing for nighttime hunting, and strong feet with talons for capturing prey, are examined in detail. Distribution, habitats, and migration fill a chapter on where owls live, with hunting, feeding, and daily routines explained in a chapter on how owls live. The yearly cycle is covered in the seasonal rhythm of owl behavior, which includes nesting and the rearing of young. A large portion of the book is devoted to an illu...

Owls
de Klaus Konig, J.H. Becking, Freidhelm Weick(Ed. Pica Press) Isbn : 1873403747
47.25 €
Owls are enduringly popular birds, but due to their nocturnal habits most species are difficult to see well. The plumages of many species are cryptic and difficult to separate by plumage alone. This problem is compounded by the different morphs that many adopt. This book fully describes every known species and subspecies of owl, as well as presenting the latest evidence on owl taxonomy, based on DNA work and vocalisations. Because voice is vital in owl identification, much emphasis is placed on it in the book and sonograms are provided for many species. A CD of owl vocalisations will accompany the book.

Owls of the World
de Rob Hume(Ed. Parkgate Books Ltd.) Isbn : 1855853523
21.25 €
Owls are an unusually homogenous order of birds; almost anyone can recognize an owl by sight or sound (though correct identification of the species can challenge even skilled birders). Worldwide in range (except Antarctica), owls are mostly forest birds, and deforestation threatens many species besides the well-publicized spotted owl. All 151 living species are described in Hume's well-written and not overly technical text and depicted in Boyer's fine (often, in fact, outstanding) paintings. There is little new information here that is not found in two other recent popular works on owls: Owls of the World , edited by J.A. Burton (Tanager, 1984, o.p., but a new edition is due in 1992) and John Sparks's Owls (Facts on File, 1989). Paul Johnsgard's North American Owls ( LJ 12/88) is the basic...
