Since most owls are nocturnal, and many live in remote habitats, they were not well studied until the past two decades. Packed with accurate information, this book covers owl classification and history, habitat and life cycle. Watercolor and colored pencil illustrations. Full description

"This is a balanced, entertaining, and informative selection. The second half of the book is a pictorial glossary of owls that highlights each of the 21 species that live on this continent; it includes good range maps, specific behavioral and physical facts, and calls.
