The next time you're in the countryside, keep your eyes on the sky. You just might see a red-tailed hawk soaring in circles above a highway or a field. North American hawks fall into four main groups: bird hawks, soaring hawks, kites, and harriers. All over North America, suburbs are expanding into undeveloped land. As a result, the woods and prairies that are closest to cities are disappearing. Not all hawk species are as adaptable as red-tails, which have adjusted to suburban habitats and even live in cities. (One famous pair nests on an apartment building on Fifth Avenue, across from New York City's Central Park!)

This book brings the world of predatory birds to life with eye-catching photos and captivating information about hawks, eagles, and many other winged hunters. Readers will learn how these birds survive in many habitats, from hot deserts to tropical forests and even the arctic and antarctic poles. They’ll get an up-close look at their amazing senses, tricky defenses, and wide variety of strategies for moving around, catching and eating food, and bearing young.

An owl's upright posture, broad head, and forward-facing eyes make it seem almost human. For centuries, people have thought of owls as wise creatures, partly because of their appearance. Although they aren't necessarily smarter than other birds, owls do possess some amazing bird abilities. There are about 180 species, or kinds, of owls around the world. Eighteen live in North America, where most of them stay in the same region year-round.

Birds of Prey is well titled. Two brothers, both of whom dwell on the fringes of respectability and the law eagerly look for ways to make money in London. One brother slips into crime and commits a murder that leads him to a new wife, an inheritance and a step-daughter. The other brother is aware of what happened, but tries to maintain some shred of dignity.
