"Raptors - the charismatic group of birds that includes hawks, eagles, and falcons - evoke power, swiftness, and grace. Soaring aloft, they are absolute icons of the California landscape. Featuring descriptions of every diurnal California raptor, this state-of-the art, beautifully illustrated guide is the first to combine identification of these fascinating birds with a comprehensive discussion of their natural history."--BOOK JACKET.
