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...

Excerpt from Our Birds of Prey: Or the Eagles, Hawks, and Owls of Canada "It is frequently a matter of surprise, to those little versed in ornithological science, that although we have already several works relating to Ornithology, and more especially to that of our own island, yet that others, apparently with a similar aim, are almost continually issuing from the press. 'Why, ' say they, 'should we have the same history so often over?' Now, though this shallow mode of argument appears sufficiently plausible to the 'general reader, ' the experienced ornithologist at once perceives the emptiness and the absurdity of the remark. If each succeeding author did tell the same story, surely no one would take the needless trouble of consulting his works. But the fact is, that Nature can never be exhausted, and however long and minute the descriptions of the economy of any bird may be, much yet remains to be added. "No work treating of our Ornithology, hitherto published, has been without its due share of errors and defects; and, indeed, all that we can ever hope to achieve with regard to the habits of our feathered tribes, is to add as much as possible to their biographies." - (Woods "British Song Birds.")

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
