Eagles, Hawks, and Falcons of Australia

Więcej o książce

Swift, sleek, predatory and breathtakingly beautiful in action, birds of prey have always had a fascination for man. In Eagles Hawks and Falcons of Australia, David Hollands has achieved his goal of finding studying and photographing all twenty-four diurnal birds of prey in Australia. This comprehensive and authoritative work is divided into three sections: THE ESSAYS – written to capture the spirit of each bird as well as to present the ornithological facts; THE FIELD GUIDE – designed to summarize the facts likely to be used in the field, including many new observations previously unpublished; THE COLOR PLATES – over one hundred and fifty superb photographs depicting each species in a dramatic and original format, taken both at the next and in flight. This magnificent book is essential reading for all raptor enthusiasts and for every serious ornithologist. For this second edition of Eagles Hawks and Falcons of Australia, David Hollands has revised the whole text and made additions to several chapters, based on recent field expeditions. The color sections have been expanded to make room for a number of new photographs. This new edition of Eagles Hawks and Falcons of Australia comes after a long period of being out-of-print. David is now retired from medical practice and working on three new titles.
