Reviews:
"A fascinating and comprehensive review. . . . This volume is a must for all serious raptor biologists, wildlife professionals, ornithologists, and birders, but its flowing treatment and handsome layout also make it a treasure for any naturalist or wildlife enthusiast who has ever marveled at the grace and majesty of these hunters of the skies." -Bloomsbury Review
"A masterpiece of detail. . . . An excellent, referenced source for amateur and professional ornithologists alike. . . . Johnsgard's text is too good a value for any serious birder not to own." -Borealis
"[T]horough and current. . . . This is a desirable addition to any personal, college, or university library." - Auk
"[Hawks, Eagles, and Falcons of North America] is a coffee-table book of color plates of diurnal birds of prey, an old-fashioned key (with illustrations of heads and feet), an identification guide, an overview of the birds' biology, and a collection of life histories of the North American species." -BioScience
"The best single-volume reference on this group of birds." -Choice
