The Daywatchers

Near Fine hardcover in dust jacket.  DJ is slightly creased and faded.

Whether he's perched in trees in a remote woods or watching peregrines pursue pigeons in New York's Central Park, Peter Parnell has always been fascinated by birds of prey.  The award-winning artist vividly recalls his sightings, accompanying his recollections with elegantly detailed line drawings that perfectly capture the personalities and habitats of the majestic birds.  The osprey, Cooper's hawk, gyrfalcon, golden eagle, and many more are each given their own chapters.  Parnell adds authenticity to his anecdotes with scientific and historical information about each bird of prey.
