Product Description

Lavishly illustrated with 500 colour photographs of sharp-shinned hawks, American kestrels, merlins, peregrine falcons, ospreys, golden eagles, ferruginous hawks, bald eagles, and nine other North American raptors. Birds of Prey features shots so close the birds loom as large as life. Scholz has combined instructive line drawings and engaging and informative text with Merrick's stunning photos to create the most magnificent and comprehensive books on birds of prey. The book includes a section on techniques for the artist and carver, with a 66-photo sequence detailing the steps involved in painting an American kestrel, and photos and tips on sculpting heads and making eyes to create life-like raptor carvings.

Not only bird artists, but any bird lover would enjoy this book. The pictures are excellent, in focus and from all angles.

This book is often in use at my lab table.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great reference book for bird carvers, 1 April 1999

By A Customer

This is a great reference book for bird carvers, not only does it have incredible photographs but the text points out details that you might miss. The drawings are very helpful and the measurements of each species covered is very helpful. I recomend this book to anyone carving birds of prey.
