Australian Hawks and Eagles
As one of Australia’s finest natural history artists, photographers, and authors over a period of decades, with the renowned Slater Field Guide to Australian Birds among his many works, the late great Peter Slater needs no introduction. For Australian Hawks and Eagles, Peter teamed up with the equally talented award-winning artist Sally Elmer to produce the ultimate book on birds of prey ranging in size from the diminutive Collared Sparrowhawk to the mighty Wedge-tailed Eagle.
More than 20 species are covered, including goshawks, kites, buzzards, bazas, ospreys, and harriers. Engaging text explains all about the lives of these enigmatic birds, while stunning photography and artworks—all produced by the authors during decades of detailed study—provide a window into the hidden world of these raptors, which rarely venture close to people but capture our imaginations with their powerful flight and awesome hunting habits.
In short, this book, which was 50 years in the making and is the sister title for Australian Falcons, is a must-have for anyone with a love of Australian birds and nature.
