Hawks in Flight

Fine used hardcover in a fine dust jacket. Previous owner's blind stamp on title page.

Covers the twenty-three species of diurnal raptors (birds of prey that fly in the daytime), that are most likely to be seen over most of North America, including buteos, accipiters, falcons, kites, eagles, vultures, osprey, and harrier. Pete Dunne's clear, lively text describes the characteristic flight, behavior, and migration pattern of each group and each species. Ninety-two beautiful and accurately detailed illustrations by David Sibley, and 173 photographs by Clay Sutton and others show the birds in various views.

This book is a must for any birder, any hawk watcher, anyone who has ever been inspired or puzzled by a hawk in flight.
