 | The Book of North American Owls, Hardcover Owls have long captivated the human imagination. Ancient Europeans and prehistoric Native Americans drew pictures of owls on cave walls. Owls have been regarded as mysterious, powerful spirits. Believing that the birds had magic powers, people either worshiped or feared them. Their elusive nature has contributed to the mixture of fear and fascination associated with these unusual creatures. Packed with scrupulously accurate information and vivid, meticulous watercolor illustrations, The Book of North American Owls explores and explains owl classification and history, hunting and habitat, courtship and nesting - and the complex relationship between owls and humans. The comprehensive glossary includes all of the twenty-one North American species. Ages 9-12 |
