Bibliographic Details Publisher: Springer Verlag Published date: 1997 Size: 6.25 x 10 inches Weight: 0.7 pounds Pages: 128 Similar books Amazing Birds of Prey by Jemima Parry-Jones Full-color photos. Take a close-up look at the elegant "lions of the sky"--how eagles catch, kill, and eat their prey, how owls fly so silently, which hawk uses a spider's web to protect its nest, and more. Raptor Rescue! by Sylvia A. Johnson A visit to the University of Minnesota's Gabbert Raptor Center focuses on a bald eagle, from its arrival with a gunshot wound through surgery, rehabilitation, and release, and discusses the threats to these majestic birds. Birds of Prey by Floyd Scholz Raptors have intrigued and inspired artists and naturalists for thousands of years. Floyd Scholz's own fascination with these winged hunters began when he took up bird carving in the 1970's, but he was long frustrated by the lack of close up, detailed reference photographs of these birds. He decided to team up with photographer Tad Merrick to fill that void. Population Ecology of Raptors by Ian Newton Population Ecology of Raptors provides a synthesis of recently discovered facts concerning the population regulation in raptors. The author details their social behavior, their dispersion, numbers, movements, breeding, and mortality. He also deals with the effects of pesticides and other pollutants on raptors. Including all relevant material and information from around the world, this book provides a sound basis for further research and more effective conservation. It will be of value not only to the professional research worker, but also to anyone else with a general interest in these birds. The Prairie Keepers by Marcy Houle The ruggedly beautiful Zumwalt Prairie in northeastern Oregon has become a battleground in the war between ranchers and environmentalists. In this eloquent expose, wildlife biologist Marcy Houle shows what she learned about this majestic region--and why ranchers, grazing, and wildlife not only can coexist but must coexist if we are to save our native prairies.
