DUNNE, PETE; SIBLEY, DAVID & SUTTON, CLAY. WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY SIBLEY, DAVID. Hawks In Flight: The Flight Identification Of North American Migrant Raptors.
Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston: 1988. Softcover. Very good condition. Hawks - probably the most popular birds among birders - are notoriously difficult to identify using the traditional field-mark method. Hawks in Flight shows how to recognize hawks the way we often recognize our friends at a distance: by their general body shape, the way they move, and the places they are most likely to be seen. Pete Dunne's clear, lively text brings to life each species' distinctive characteristics, and their visual essence is captured in David Sibley's elegant drawings and Clay Sutton's photographs. Hawks in Flight covers the twenty-three most common diurnal raptors of North America, including buteos, accipiters, falcons, kites, eagles, vultures, and the osprey and harrier. Includes an Index. A landmark. The first book dealing with a new aspect of birdwatching -- the holistic method, - Roger Tory Peterson ¶ 254 pages.
Offered for US$ 13.05 by: Ad Infinitum Books - Book number: 72058X1
