Birds of Prey is a comprehensive guide to one of the most fascinating and varied of all groups of birds. It is fully illustrated throughout in superb colour, and its clear, concise text will appeal to armchair naturalists and serious ornithologists alike. The book includes: Full colour illustrations of all 286 bird of prey species, showing breeding plumage and variations. Maps showing the distribution of each species, including summer and winter ranges and migrations routes of the migrant species. Descriptions of the birds' habitats, specializations, courtship, mating and family behaviour. A concise introduction explaining the evolution and family relationships of the birds of prey, and the way in which they are classified. Birds of Prey is a tribute to these magnificent aerial hunters. It is also a timely reminder that without urgent conservation measures some of them may very soon be lost forever from the face of the earth.
