Owls of the World: A Photographic Guide
( A complete guide to identifying the world's owls. Ph...)
A complete guide to identifying the world's owls. Photographers spend hours waiting to capture them and birders seek them out with determination, but owls have been tough to identify--until now. Owls of the World is the ultimate resource dedicated to the identification of these charismatic birds of prey. Dozens of the world's finest photographers have contributed 750 spectacular photographs covering all of the world's 249 species of owls. The photos are accompanied by detailed text describing: • Identification notes • Habitat • Population status • Voice • Food • Distribution • Accurate range maps • Similar species. Owls are shown as adults from a perspective that clearly shows markings which assist in identification. Photographs of similar-looking species are included where identification is particularly difficult. For photographers, birders, naturalists, researchers and any fan of these birds, Owls of the World is the definitive work on species identification. It is also a comprehensive encyclopedia for reference and leisure reading. No bookshelf should be without it.

In this major work Dr Mikkola reviews the 13 owls breeding in Europe and an additional four species in lands adjoining the Mediterranean in North Africa and the Middle East. The book has three Parts. I: Special Characteristics - origins, taxonomy, anatomical features, pellets. II: Species Descriptions - the 17 species described in detail, with voice, behaviour, food, breeding and distribution (34 maps). III: Ecological Relationships - largely concerned with interactions between owls and with other birds of prey. Identification, part of the Species Descriptions text, is more than supplemented by 8 superb colour plates by Ian Willis. In addition there are numerous line drawings and over 70 photographs.

The new edition is packed with spectacular photography of 268 species of owls from all over the world -- 19 more species than the original book. Many of the photos are of highly elusive species that are very rarely caught on camera. The photos are accompanied by detailed text describing: • Identification notes • Habitat • Population status • Voice • Food • Distribution • Accurate range maps • Similar species. The photographic coverage includes plumages and subspecies which promotes differentiation between species, making this the definitive work on owl identification.
