Discover the world of birds of prey -- how they grow, fly, live and
hunt.
Here is a spectacular and informative new guide to birds of prey
around the world. Superb color photographs give the reader an
"eyewitness" insight into the world of eagles, vultures, hawks,
kites, owls, falcons, and other birds of prey. See a secretary
bird stamping on a snake, a kestrel hovering in midair, a tawny
eagle in flight across the page, a burrowing owl coming out of
its burrow, and a Verreaux's eagle launching itself at its prey.
Learn what an eagle's bones and muscles look like, how falconers
train hawks, falcons, and other birds, what steppe eagles eat in
winter, and how Harris' hawks hunt in teams. Discover how an
alula helps birds to fly, which bird of prey has talons as big as
a grizzly bear's claws, how vultures can fly for hours with
scarcely a flap of their wings, and much, much more.
