Falcons of North America.

Many birders will buy this book for the superb photos of falcons, but a glance at the text draws readers into the world of falcons, a remarkable group of raptors that hold a special place in our psyche. Written in a style that transmits the author’s passion for these fascinating birds, Kate Davis shares a considerable amount of new information in this new edition with new biological insights that makes Falcons of North America a premium addition to any birder’s library. The quality of falcon photographs taken by Kate and her associates Nick Dunlop and Rob Palmer is unsurpassed.

In Falcons of North America, renowned raptor advocate and environmental educator Kate Davis opens a door into these extraordinary birds of prey. Davis describes fascinating details about one of the greatest conservation success stories – the return of Peregrine Falcons from near-extinction to larger populations than ever before, and today many Peregrines are thriving as city dwellers across the continent. Other population trends are explored, with a discussion of the mysterious decline of American Kestrels in some areas, along with the impact of global warming on falcons, particularly Arctic-dwelling Gyrfalcons.
