Description
A bird guide for younger readers, these vibrant paintings and fascinating facts teach all about the world’s majestic raptors. Artist and environmental conservationist Robert Bateman offers awe-inspiring, lifelike illustrations to capture the habitats and daily life of the sky’s predators--including buteos, accipiters, eagles, falcons, kites, ospreys, vultures, and owls. With a gentle message about sharing the earth with these soaring species, this is a wonderful introduction to the keen eyesight, curved beaks, sharp talons, and agile flights that make these birds perfectly designed for hunting their prey.
