Description
Thousands of birdwatchers come to Arizona each and every year in the hunt for rare or intriguing species, and for those watching the skies the additional sighting of a bird of prey is a reward in itself. The Grand Canyon state boasts the most dramatic assortment of raptors in North The usa: hawks, eagles, falcons, kites, and owls, plus vultures and condors. Here will also be found nearly the entire raptor species of the continental United States and also established populations of species associated with Mexico, such as the Gray Hawk, Common Black-Hawk, Zone-tailed Hawk, and Whiskered Screech-Owl.
Arizona’s raptors are found in an unrivaled diversity of habitats, from saguaro cactus forests where tiny Elf Owls nest to the Vermilion Cliffs, where the gigantic California Condor was once introduced in 1996. Yet many species live in habitats that are actually jeopardized by degradation or development, making an understanding and appreciation of raptors a very powerful to their survival.
The Raptors of Arizona brings together the knowledge and insights of 29 raptor and Natural world authorities who provide original information and syntheses on Arizona’s 42 raptor species, with an emphasis on aspects of their natural history in Arizona. A chapter on each and every bird includes its description, a range map, and information on its distribution, habitat, life history, and status. Additional chapters cover conservation, habitats, where and when to watch raptors, and the sport of falconry. The book is enhanced by 42 full-color illustrations by Richard Sloan, probably the most premier Natural world artists in North The usa, whose paintings were commissioned by the Arizona Natural world Foundation specifically for this project. Co-published with the Arizona Game and Fish Department.
