With wingspans that can measure upward of seven feet, eagles remain one of the most impressive birds of prey in the world. In this guide, brilliant full-color photographs give the reader an eyewitness view of the world of eagles, vultures, kites, owls, and other birds of prey. See a secretary bird stamping on a snake, a tawny eagle in flight across the page, and a burrowing owl coming out of its burrow. Learn how falconers train hawks, and other birds, what steppe eagles eat in winter, and how Harris' hawks hunt in teams. Discover which bird of prey has talons as big as a grizzly bear's claws, how vultures can fly for hours with scarcely a flap of their wings, and much, much more.
