A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"In two parts, "An Introduction to Owling" and "The Owls of North America," the Suttons present the hobby of owl watching and owl-spotting prospects throughout North America. Part 1 affords the enthusiast's perspective on spotting, recording, and enjoying the moment of discovery. Sighting an owl--a nocturnal creature, after all--requires patience, local knowledge, and the willingness to make squeaking and sucking noises. Part 2 with its species pictures, tables of names and physical dimensions, and range maps resembles a field guide. Little essays on the various owl species each cover a particular bird's peculiarities and advise how to successfully discover it. An excellent starter book for a fascinating hobby." Booklist, ALA

Présentation de l'éditeur

Long considered creatures of myth and mystery, owls actually are commonplace if one knows how and where to look--often no further than one's own backyard. The Suttons--husband and wife naturalist team--have created a lavish, full-color spotter's guide, with a thorough description of owls, their habitat, range, diet, breeding and nesting habits.
