Birds of Prey of Minnesota

This guide to birds of prey includes information on 33 species, including hawks, eagles, falcons, kites, vultures, and owls. The front of the book has general information on identifying birds of prey, their anatomy, nests, etc. It also includes a "quick compare" guide with illustrations of birds in flight and when perching. Each species has a two-page profile with a color photo, silhouette, range map, description of males and females, nesting habits, migration, and notes from the author, Stan Tekiela. This is an essential resource for library collections.
