The Red-tailed Hawk, As Told By An Expert In the Field October 31, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This well written book gives anyone interested in raptors, a detailed description of the Red-Tailed Hawk. Dr. Preston is the the founding curator of the Draper Museum of Natural History at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyoming, where his primary research focuses on raptor ecology and the management of wildlife in and around the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. In this book he describes many of the behaviors of the Red-tailed Hawk, including choosing a mate, nesting, brooding, communication with each other, hunting, and territory protection behaviors. The book is illustrated with photos from a number of different nature photographers.
Great book for specific species information. March 12, 2000

This book is an excellent overview of the Red-tailed Hawk, giving the already experienced raptor-watcher and fledgling birdwatcher alike a very thorough description of this Hawk's lifestyle. Recommended. Some of the photographs seemed less than ideal for book publication, however.

Very informative and accessible. Detailed overview of the life-cycle and behavior of this magnificent bird. Lots of great pictures. Includes descriptions of places where you can see hundreds of hawks during their migratory season!
