Birds of Prey (Birds of the World Series)

Very Good used hardcover in dust jacket.  Bumped corners. Age-toned page edges.  Some pencil marks on ffp. Slight shelf wear to DJ.

Birds of Prey discusses the seven main families of raptors and accipiters:  falcons, eagles, secretary birds, osprey, vultures, hawks and owls.  It looks at the appearance, range and habits of the different species within each family, and examines the environmental factors and popular misconceptions that have led to the decline of so many species.  The photographs, taken by many of the world's foremost nature photographers, show the birds of prey in their natural habitats and offer an unforgettable picture of their grace, beauty and fighting skill.
