"This informative book, covering all owl species found in the northern hemisphere, looks closely at how owls live their lives, and how best to recognize them... These detailed accounts provide ample information on each species' range, evolution and relationships, geographical variation, breeding behavior, life history, movements and migration, calls, habitat, hunting/foraging behavior, diet, physical description, and conservation status. The large-format book is richly illustrated with sensational, full-color photographs of these compelling birds." * Northeastern Naturalist *
"Marianne Taylor presents intriguing glimpses into the lives of these birds.... Individual species accounts, covering all 42 types occurring in North America and northern Eurasia, make up most of the text. These accounts contain far more detailed information about each species than what is provided in a field guide and include at least one photograph of each species. The photography is absolutely stunning, and portraits or action photos adorn every page. Summing Up: Highly recommended." * Choice *
