Reviews
Since most of us cannot get close enough to gaze into their eyes, Owls of the World: A Photographic Guide does that for us. One page after another shows owls close-up and personal, as if you are there with them. This is one of the most memorable bird books out there, covering almost 250 species of owls in the world. It is for adults and children who appreciate the wonders of nature. There are over 750 photos in the book, allowing you to lose yourself for hours, just staring at the owls. Author Heimo Mikkola is said to be the world's foremost authority on owls, and it definitely shows here.... This is one book you should truly give a hoot about!, A must-have for serious birders... but it will repay the attention of anyone who wonders what makes owls tick., Descriptions include detailed range maps, tips for identification and related species, and a brief overview of the ecology of each species. The highlights of Owls of the World are the stunning photographs used to illustrate each species as well as the introductory section. The book will be a valued addition as a reference for bird enthusiasts and libraries., A native of Finland, the author is the world's best-known owl expert, having visited the birds in 128 countries over the past 40 years. Here he describes all of the world's 249 species of owls in copious detail with tips on identification, habitat, calls, and status and distribution. The text is enhanced by 750 color photographs from leading wildlife photographers. A spectacular book., One of the most comprehensive and beautifully photographed guides about owls I have ever seen.... Heimo Mikkola has obviously done extensive research to put together such a complete reference work of birds belonging to the order Strigiformes.... Don't be put off by its size. I believe this book can be of interest to both hardcore owl enthusiasts and to those who just want to look at beautiful pictures. More than enough information is included to satisfy a person's deep curiosity. And it works equally well for the person who wants to randomly dip into its pages, enjoying a more serendipitous journey through the world of snowy, screech, spotted, pygmy and horned owls. So, two hoots up for this excellent book!, A masterfully comprehensive reference... No birder with an interest in owls should be without this volume in their birding library.
