Owls of the World: A Photographic Guide
[Review of previous edition] [An] important book. Recommended for most libraries -- good value and quality  for the price. (Linda ScarthBooklist2012-10-15)[Review of previous edition] 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! (Jan JohnstonClark County Columbian2012-12-30)
