Item Description

This Bird Lover's Book Pack includes:

Intriguing Owls: Extraordinary Images and Insight by Stan Tekiela-"Professional naturalist and wildlife photographer Stan Tekiela respects and admires owls. “They are strikingly beautiful creatures and incredible hunters. Owls are among my favorite birds to study and to photograph.” Stan spent over 20 years observing owls across the country, documenting such major events as migration and courtship, as well as everyday activities including feeding and sleeping. The result is an incomparable collection of images and insight compiled in one unforgettable book. Arresting photographs reveal the owl in an astonishing new light. Gripping information, drawn from detailed research and Stan’s personal observations—including field studies and long-term video monitoring of nesting owls—combine to create a compelling read. Headings and small blocks of text"-Barnes and Noble 

Majestic Eagles: Compelling Facts and Images of the Bald Eagle-"Take a closer look at the most powerful birds of the sky with this picture guide, complete with detailed accounts of eagles' lives and behaviors. Award-winning nature photographer Stan Tekiela has captured the essence of what makes eagles compelling."-Amazon 


Owls of North America including Nighthawks and Nightjars-"This comprehensive guide includes multiple photos of every owl found in North America, including some regional subspecies. Some species have up to six photos that show plumage variation, sexual differences and behavior, with 75 photos representing the 19 species of owls found in North America. Most other similar guides only show two or three photos of each species, which is why Owls of North America is more helpful in field conditions. Accompanying text provides tips on how to identify each owl, including how they differ from other similar owls, as well as their calls and vocalizations. The ability to see similar owl species in side by side comparison is the key to your ID success, and Owls of North America allows that to happen due to the foldable panels.

Nine species of nighthawks and nightjars are also shown at the end of Owls of North America, with multiple photos showing nighthawks in flight for ID comparison. All nightjars found in North America are also shown here, with text explaining how each differs from the others. This waterproof guide is invaluable for your field identification of these two birds groups.
