..and buy this book right now. A freind of mine showed me Floyd Scholz owl book and i was amazed. I found that he wrote another book , Birds of Prey, and ordered it. Just got it in today and it's fantastic. This book contains gorgeous photos of several species of raptors, but not just in outdoor shots or hard to reference flying poses. These are studio photos, close ups of spread and folded wings, details of the feet and head and a number of full body shots. There are also scientific line drawings of the birds, detailing the feather arrangement and body proportions. The back of the book has one the coolest sections ever...how to carve raptor statues! This mans carving skill is amazing to the point where it's almost ridiculous. His bird sculptures look 100% real and the clear step by step instructions make it look easy.

This book is perfect for artist's reference. It does have some text, such as the species profile at the start of each chapter which is awesome. However this book mostly photos, scientific drawings and artwork...which is also awesome.

Seriously, buy it.

Oh my goodness, I absolutely LOVE this book! It has very detailed pictures for reference to the different parts of various species of raptors. This is by far my favorite book I own on the subject of birds of prey and I've had it for 15 years! Definitely worth the money; especially if you need an excellent resource to do raptor art; whether its drawing, painting, coloring or woodworking. I highly recommend!

The book arrived in a timely manner, it is in great shape. It was a public library book formerly and still in wonderful condition. It is well organized and filled with color pictures. I have only read at it, so I can't really say much more. Good deal, Good experience.

Incredible close up photos of raptors that give you the details that can separate your Carvings from the rest. The colors are spot on. You just can’t get this kind of detail from photos on the internet.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not for Thorough Knowledge of Raptors
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2013
Verified Purchase
I was disappointed that this book does not go into depth about the ornithology of raptors, but it is a good book for identification and VERY basic anatomy for the beginnning student of 'Birds of Prey'. For those (e.g. beginning falconers) who want to jump-start their knowledge, however, I would recommended this book as a later addition to more thorough ornithological books. This book is designed for people who are more interested in drawing and carving the birds, than for those who really want knowledge of bird behavior, habitat, needs, etc.

I just received this yesterday. I purchased it as a reference book for painting birds of prey. It is exactly what I needed. The photos are clear and there's so many different angles of the birds. There are so many gorgeous raptors in this book!
