Raptors and Owls of Georgia. Georgian Centre for the Conservation of Wildlife, 2005. $24.95
|
|
There are over 400 color illustrations depicting plumage variation for each species according to age, sex, and race, including behavior and habitat compositions pertinent to the region. The innovative layout is specifically designed for accurate use in the field, dedicating each page- spread to a single species. For quick reference there are dynamic raptor-flight arrangements accompanied by captions for keying-out comparative information about plumage according to age, wing posture, and flight type. In addition, there are color distribution maps for every species according to its status within Georgia as a breeding bird, a seasonal resident, a year-round resident, or a passage migrant.
"This is a super little book and I commend the NHBS for carrying it. There is plenty of information and good illustrations showing different views and ID features making it a very useful book to carry when you are birding in Europe - its small enough not to take up much luggage [or even pocket] space yet has the majority of raptors and owls you could see anywhere in Europe. The book is compact so this review will be too. Buy it - you will help conservation and have a very useful addition to your travelling library" - www.fatbirder.com, June 2005 "Very good quality illustrations cover the adult appearance, with smaller annotated illustrations showing age, sex and flight details. The accompanying text, in two languages, give brief descriptions of the species' characteristics, habits and habitats. An excellent book for anyone travelling to that part of the world." - BTO News 259, July-August 2005 Language: Bilingual - In English and Georgian. Also available from the same publisher: |
