Owls of the North: A Naturalist's Handbook

Although the author of this slim little field guide is from Duluth (David Benson), the birds featured here are not limited to Minnesota, but include ten species found in northern North America and Asia. Each species gets a 6-8 page profile with color photos, information on size, diet, sounds, habitat, range, food, courtship and behavior, etc. Sidebars throughout the book address special topics such as owl's ears, migration, owl surveys, favorite foods, and the 2004-2005 invasion of Great Grey Owls from Canada. In the back is a two page bibliography for futher research. There's a lot of information in a small package here.
