Owls: A Guide to the Owls of the World

by Claus Konig, Friedhelm Weick (Illustrator), Jan-Hendrik Becking

Because of its adaptation to nocturnal life, the owl is sometimes difficult to see; its identification is therefore a challenge even to the most experienced field birders. This book, together with its accompanying double CD, is an invaluable aid to the identification of owls, for it pays particular attention to the crucial element of voice identification. In addition to identification, the book also offers in-depth coverage of the ecology and reproductive behavior of owls. The book includes 64 color plates of various species as well as sonograms and distribution maps.

I would give this book 5 stars for Birders, and scientists. But as a book to just read for fun I had to give it 2. The pictures are amazing and everything is very well done. They provide tons of information and this book really helped me in Biology.
