SynopsisColorful, noisy, and brash, the American Kestrel is the most endearing of North Americas raptors. With its vivid rufous and blue-gray plumage, peppered with dashes of black and white, this bird of prey is instantly recognizable to both novice and expert bird watchers, whether itsdiving for an insect on the wing or hovering over an open field while hunting for mice. The American Kestrels distinctive call, readily heard from miles away, is another identifier that makes this predator more noticeable than others. Theres no mistaking its klee, klee, klee, from which it received the nickname killy hawk., In American Kestrel: Pint-sized Predator, part natural history, part photographic exploration, renowned bird expert and master educator Kate Davis delves into the world of the American Kestrel, inviting you into the safe confines of its cavity nest and favored habitats. You'll learn about the American Kestrel's hunting tactics and prey, breeding strategies, migration paths and patterns, and the kestrel's current status their numbers are declining, and nobody's quite sure why. Davis enthusiastically imparts the wisdom she has gained through extensive research and firsthand experience. One hundred astonishing photos shot by Davis and award-winning photographer Rob Palmer illustrate in full-color glory the story Davis deftly weaves.

Excellent Photos
The quality of the photos is stunning! To be able to capture these moments in time in their natural environment demonstrates the authors knowledge of the raptor. As an avid falconry/raptor book reader which tend to be way more text oriented I was expecting this book to follow suite & it was refreshingly different. Text didn't add much knowledge from other books in this genre & is quite a let down due to it being specific to just the American Kestrel.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

The photographs in this book will blow you away. The information is good but even without it the photography alone is worth buying it. You will not be disappointed.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
