"This was mostly a narrative of what could have been more efficiently presented as a punchlist. B/W photos were described as adequate because of a lack of color in real observations, but the low resolution was disappointing."
"Great book with out of focus photos that really help you learn to identify raptors. Those perfectly drawn pictures in most bird ID books are useless. This book describes flight behavior--the tilting, wobbly flight of turkey vultures, the flap, flap, flap glide pattern of accipiters. After reading this book, your ability to recognize raptors will soar!"
