Publishers Note:There is no location in the world that exceeds the reputation of Cape May, New Jersey for high quality birding.

Drawing on more than a dozen years of birding experience in Cape May, David Sibley has done a splendid job of assembling a wealth of information.

Hawks in Flight

Publishers Note:Hawks -- probably the most popular birds among birders -- are notoriously difficult to identify using the traditional field-mark method. HAWKS IN FLIGHT shows how to recognize hawks the way we often recognize our friends at a distance: by their general body shape, the way they move, and the places they are most likely to be seen. Pete Dunne's clear, lively text brings to life each species' distinctive characteristics, and their visual essence is captured in David Sibley's elegant drawings and Clay Sutton's photographs.

The Wind Masters

Publishers Note: Even people with little interest in birds will stop in their tracks at the sight of a hawk soaring overhead or a falcon perched on a window ledge. Birds of prey have an aura that few other creatures have. In the acclaimed Hawks in Flight, Pete Dunne showed what birds of prey look like. In The Wind Masters, he shows what it is like to be a bird of prey. He takes us inside the lives and minds of all thirty-four species of diurnal raptors found in North America -- hawks, falcons, eagles, vultures, the osprey, and the harrier -- and shows us how each bird sees the world, hunts its prey, finds and courts its mate, rears its young, grows up, grows old, and dies. Vividly written, and beautifully illustrated by David Sibley, The Wind Masters is a brilliant work of narrative natural history in the tradition of Peter Matthiessen's The Wind Birds and Barry Lopez's Of Wolves and Men.
