Success

After I bought my ten year old grandson, "Raptor", I didn't know if I could find another book that would thrill him as much. Again, I hit the jackpot with "Eagles, and Birds of Prey". He loves it. The text is great and is very educational without being dull.

VERY good for starters...

This is an excellent book for those who are beginning to form an interest in raptors. It goes over their nesting habits, hatching and growth, flight, hunting and feeding. Also has genus and basic anatomy (Skeleton, musculature, feathers, talons, etc.) information, as well as a short overview of falconry. Well layed out, informative, and the photographs are excellent.
