[Dominique · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book gives a basic overview of owls in general and there is a species guide included in the book which gives the reader a more detailed description of each species. This book is intended for an artist who is either going to be painting pictures of the owls or carving them. It is a nice book for a basic look at owls, and a touch on the pricey side.
