Birds of Prey

Very Good used hardcover in dust jacket. Bumped corners. Sticker affixed to ffp.  

Throughout history, eagles, vultures, and other birds of prey have been worshipped and feared, and latterly hunted and poisoned.  Their habitats have been destroyed as more and more land comes under agriculture and urbanization.

Now, as the conservation movement grows in strength, people are taking steps to ensure that these magnificent birds have a secure place in the world.

This informative, easy-to-read book has been prepared by an international panel of experts in the field.  It gives a fascinating picture of the biology of these birds, their feeding habits, social behavior, and their relationship with their only significant predator, man.  It is enhanced by stunning photographs, from the largest condor to the smallest falcon.
