Lavishly illustrated with more than 500 color photographs, this book features shots so close, the birds loom large as life. Scholz has combined instructive line drawings and engaging, informative text with stunning photos to create this comprehensive book. 

Excellent visual reference for identifying birds of prey 
While this book does not describe habitat much, it is the best illustrative piece I have ever seen. This is a "must have" for those of us trying to identify hawks in our area. I highly commend all involved in the making of this book - the photography and attention to detail are impressive.
