The Art of Hawk-Watching: Finding, Enjoying and Understanding Birds of Prey NEUF le plus cher

Have you ever wondered where that Red-tailed Hawk nests or why its always on that lamp standard? Have you ever been curious as to where the best place to find a Bald Eagle might be, or what keeps leaving that pile of feathers in the yard by the bird feeder- a Cooper's Hawk perhaps?

 In, The Art of Hawk-Watching, by internationally recognized and lifelong hawk-watcher, Joe Roy III, the answers to some of these questions and much more are covered. Transcending the standard guide format, this book, by virtue of the author's intimate experience with birds of prey, takes a much more holistic approach to not only finding, identifying, and observing birds of prey, but perhaps more importantly, to understanding them as well.

The book is engaging and packed with information and tips including a discussion of the craft of “tuning in”, by developing an awareness of one's environmental surroundings, as a means of locating birds of prey. It also delves into forensic components, including everything from castings, to guano, prey carcasses, and other bits of evidence that can produce a mountain of pertinent information if one knows where, and what to look for, and how to analyze what is, or isn't found.

The book concludes with a frank discussion of ecological imperatives and discusses how as amateur and professional raptor enthusiasts, we can all play a part in raptor conservation.
