Urban Raptors by Clint W. Boal,Cheryl R. Dykstra Pdf

Raptors are an unusual success story of wildness thriving in the heart of our cities—they have developed substantial populations around the world in recent decades. But there are deeper issues around how these birds make their urban homes. New research provides insight into the role of raptors as vital members of the urban ecosystem and future opportunities for protection, management, and environmental education. A cutting-edge synthesis of over two decades of scientific research, Urban Raptors is the first book to offer a complete overview of urban ecosystems in the context of bird-of-prey ecology and conservation. This comprehensive volume examines urban environments, explains why some species adapt to urban areas but others do not, and introduces modern research tools to help in the study of urban raptors. It also delves into climate change adaptation, human-wildlife conflict, and the unique risks birds of prey face in urban areas before concluding with real-world wildlife management case studies and suggestions for future research and conservation efforts. Boal and Dykstra have compiled the go-to single source of information on urban birds of prey. Among researchers, urban green space planners, wildlife management agencies, birders, and informed citizens alike, Urban Raptors will foster a greater understanding of birds of prey and an increased willingness to accommodate them as important members, not intruders, of our cities.

Birds of Prey by Pete Dunne,Kevin T. Karlson Pdf

A visually stunning, comprehensive resource on North America’s birds of prey, from the award-winning birder and author of Gulls Simplified. Always a popular group of birds, raptors symbolize freedom and fierceness, and in Pete Dunne’s definitive guide, these traits are portrayed in hundreds of stunning color photographs showing raptors up close, in flight, and in action—fighting, hunting, and nesting. These gorgeous photographs enhance the comprehensive, authoritative text, which goes far beyond identification to cover raptor ecology, behavior, conservation, and much more. In returning to his forte and his first love, Pete Dunne has crafted a benchmark book on raptors: the first place to turn for any question about these highly popular birds, whether it’s what they eat, where they live, or how they behave. “Birds of Prey is exhaustively researched and complemented by a stunning collection of photos, but the real highlight is…Dunne’s writing. He weaves together personal anecdotes, historical accounts, and technical information to create something greater than the sum of all its parts: a beautiful, authoritative, and engagingly written guide to the natural history of North American hawks.”—David Sibley, author of The Sibley Guide to Birds “Books about raptors used to fall into two major categories: field guides versus nature writing. No more!...Dunne’s new book skillfully conjoins those two genres. Life a good field guide, Birds of Prey is authoritative and utilitarian, and like our finest nature writing, Dunne’s prose is lyrical, sensitive, and full of feeling.”—Ted Floyd, editor, Birding

Our Birds of Prey; Or, the Eagles, Hawks, and Owls of Canada by Henry George Vennor Pdf

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1876 edition. Excerpt: ...States, being met with southward to about 35. Northward it ranges to the Arctic coast and beyond. The Golden Eagle delights in solitude; it universally selects for its nesting site some almost, if not absolutely, inaccessible situation, generally far from the dwelling of man. Here, in some towering ledge of moss-covered rock, it constructs its nest and rears its eagle-brood, year after year for great--though unknown--periods of time. VVe have heard wonderful stories of the great age to which some pairs of these birds have lived, and nests have been pointed out to us which were said to have been occupied regularly, by the same individuals, during upwards of one hundred years. But who has not heard such stories? Possibly in some such out-of-the-way situations as the sub-alpine recesses of the Rocky Mountains, where the foot of man seldom treads, some of these birds may attain to this age, and return regularly to the same nest. But in Canada and the bordering United States we may venture to state that to-day there are few places where the Golden Eagle could retain his eyry, for even the space, of a few years, without being discovered and destroyed. The oldest bird of this species which has come under my notice is that figured on Plate XVII. This individual is known to have lived for thirty-five years in confinement, and was when captured between three and five years old. Its death was brought about by a gathering in the throat, and at a time when the bird was in full vigor and had the prospect before him of a very old age. Throughout his whole captivity he tamed but little, and there were few besides his keeper, Mr. Passmore, who could approach him. He evinced a special antipathy to children, and particularly to babes in the arms of nurses...
