Description

In Owl, award-winning photographer Paul Bannick uses his intimate yet dramatic images to follow North American owls through the course of one year and in their distinct habitats. Readers follow along at the nest as every stage in an owl’s life is chronicled: courtship, mating, and nesting in spring; fledging and feeding of young in summer; dispersal and gaining independence in fall; and, in any case, winter’s migrations and competition for food. For owls, on a daily basis brings a new challenge to continue to exist, and this book shows readers how owls use the unique resources to be had to them in their habitat to face those challenges. All 19 species found in Canada and the US are featured in photos and narrative during the book, with a special center of attention on the Northern Pygmy-Owl, Great Gray Owl, Burrowing Owl and Snowy Owl.

Paul’s startling images reflect behaviors shared by all owls, in addition to some surprising exceptions and adaptations. The four featured owl habitats–forest, grassland and steppe, boreal, and Arctic–every reveal wildly wealthy stories of their own. Owl is a stunning follow-up to Bannick’s bestselling title, The Owl and the Woodpecker, giving bird lovers yet another gorgeous photographic tribute, engaging natural history, and a compelling call to preserve the habitats that sustain these most iconic of birds.
