Owls of the World

Showcasing stunning full-color photographs of owls from around the world, James Duncan explores the behaviors and life cycles of a diverse array of the world’s 200-plus owl species in his new book, Owls of the World. Read about owls’ nesting biology, and the unique adaptations for nocturnal life and predation that make owls such stealthy hunters. And who can resist the chapter that covers each owl family, including the huge eagle owls, diminutive pygmy owls, familiar barn owls, unusual fishing owls, and popular burrowing owls?

The author, James Duncan, is the director of the Wildlife and Fisheries Branch of the Manitoba Department of Sustainable Development. He is also the author of The Complete Book of North American Owls and has banded more than 2,500 owls during the course of his field research.

Read about owls from the beautiful and highly recognizable Snowy Owls that nest in the Arctic tundra, to the secretive and rare Forest Owlet, found in the mangrove swamps of India.
