Book Synopsis Sasol Birds of Prey of Africa and Its Islands by : Alan C. Kemp
Download or read book Sasol Birds of Prey of Africa and Its Islands written by Alan C. Kemp and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide offers the best of both worlds in its presentation of birds in both photographic and illustrative form. Each raptor species is afforded one double-page spread, allowing for extensive textual and illustrative coverage. The text focuses on bird identification, first isolating the key points necessary for identifying a species, and then discussing salient features of the adult, sub-adult and juvenile. The bird is described at perch and in flight, and any distinctive behaviour is highlighted. Current distribution, habitat and status are discussed, and finally similar species. The illustrative content, by means of carefully selected photographs from top-ranking wildlife photographers and illustrations by renowned bird artist Peter Hayman, depicts all kinds of plumage relevant to identification (male, female and immature) as well as in-flight shots to help distinguish the often confusing and similar wing patterns of this group of birds.

Book Synopsis The Great Eagles by : Michael O'Neal Campbell
Download or read book The Great Eagles written by Michael O'Neal Campbell and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-05-19 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the current literature and knowledge on the evolution and ecology of all the birds named as eagles, with particular emphasis on the larger species. It also examines the past and current relations between eagles and people, including habitat change and conservation issues. Eagle ecologies and conservation are currently seriously impacted by human activities such as industrialization, urbanization, pollution, deforestation and hunting. Some eagle species have consequently experienced extreme population changes. There are, however, some positive developments. Eagles have a strong, historic bond with human civilization, due to their status as the world’s most charismatic birds. Conservation policies have also been successful in repopulating some ecosystems with breeding eagles. Therefore, despite the complexity of this relationship, there may yet be hope for this unique species group, frequently rated as the kings of birds, and symbolic of human power, ambition, royalty, nationality, and even concepts of God. It is hoped that this book will contribute to the further understanding of these unique and fantastic birds.
