A study of Africa's 89 diurnal raptors and 31 owls.

The rich variety of African habitat (in latitude, elevation, vegetation, and rainfall) is reflected in the diversity of predatory birds. In this book Leslie Brown, after explaining the behavioral and physical adaptations necessary for such birds, examines every group and every species of raptor. This is a firsthand species-by-species account by one who has followed and watched these creatures for more than 20 years.
