birds by type��wls with owls, hawks with hawks��he book has chapters arranged by the habitat type and region where each bird spends the breeding season. Whether you're enjoying these pages from
the comfort of your own armchair or taking a trip to the field you can see which birds to look for in that area��wainson's Hawks soar over grasslands next to Prairie Falcons while Cooper's
