Book 25 of 36: Helm Field Guides
Synopsis
A dedicated field guide to the worlds raptors
Raptors – predatory birds that include the falcons, eagles, hawks, harriers, buzzards, kites and the Osprey – have been watched, admired, studied and painted from ancient times. Our understanding of the biology, ecology and taxonomy of these birds was condensed into one of the finest monographs of the century to date, Raptors of the World, by James Ferguson-Lees and David Christie.
This field guide represents the next step on from that magnificent work. It features plates by some of the worlds leading bird artists, with a concise text and a colour distribution map on facing pages, creating a lightweight field reference that covers all 340 raptor species, from the sparrow-sized Black-thighed Falconet to the mighty Stellers Sea-eagle, and everything in between.
Armed with this guide, birders will be able to identify any bird of prey they encounter anywhere in the world with confidence.
