Owls of the World: Their Lives, Behavior and Survival

this book is very informative it gives information on all owls, their behaviours, their habitats, reproduction and eating habits. it had beautiful photos and detailed diagrams with labels for everything. i enjoyed reading this book very much i give it 4 out of 5 stars.

Very Nice Book

I really like this book: It's easy to read and understand, has great photos, and a very large and detailed list of owls, including many of the more rare and lesser known species. Additionally, I found the section on the mythology of owls to be qutie interesting. As far as owl books go, I think Claus Konig's "Owls: A Guide to the Owls of the World" is pretty much the "bible" but this is definitely a good book for any owl lover.

A species-by-species portrait of some 200 owl species

Dr. James Duncan's Owls Of The World provides a comprehensive species-by-species portrait of some 200 owl species around the world. The inclusion of many lesser-known species located in smaller, more specific geographic locations contrasts nicely with feature of the more popular species, making for a well-rounded natural history of the evolution of owls throughout the world.
