Raptors: The Eagles, Hawks, Falcons, and Owls of North America

This book was very informative and introduced all of the various species of raptors. It gave me the fundamentals that I was looking for.

A BIT DISAPPOINTING.

This was a gift for my granddaughter. It was detailed and well presented.

This book is a major disappointment for me! The fact is that it is a coloring book! Not the book that its cover implies it to be.It's a book that a child would like to color in, not a book filled with color photos and birding wisdom?I was so disappointed and very upset... this book is marketed as a raptor reference book.... its real content is carefully obscured so you are not easily aware of what it really is. A coloring book for young children.How disappointing!

I was wanting a book of hawks and other raptors that pointed to where they could be found in the Pacific Northwest... Wanted specific info... Book was too general

If you love raptors, then this book is a great way to get you started learning about them. The drawings and full color paintings are superb. The information is more than enough for a good introduction, and if you like bird carving, then this is one of the best reference books you can have. I got one for myself, and gave the kids their own. It's not just a coloring book, the activities are designed to get the reader thinking and doing, especially observing nature and not television. Perfect for home schoolers.

My 5 year old daughter recently became interested in eagles and this book is perfect in helping her learn more. Each page is dedicated to a bird, and information is written in small amounts so she actually reads everthing about a particular raptor and learns someting too. There are also "cool facts" on each page, and they are exactly that, cool.

This is the only children's book I've seen that does a comprehensive job portraying the richness and diversity of birds of prey that exist in North America...As a scientist, this is certainly the kind of coloring book I'd be happy to give my kids. And, as a raptor biologist, I'd be proud to give it to a colleague's kids.
