Owls: A Guide to the Owls of the World
by Claus Konig, Freidhelm Weick, Jan-Hendrik Becking
 |
Many species of owls are
difficult to separate by plumage alone; this problem is compounded by
the different morphs they adopt. This book fully describes every known
species of owl, as well as presenting the latest evidence on owl
taxonomy based on DNA evidence and vocalizations. Because voice is vital
in owl identification a great deal of emphasis is placed on it.
