A regional guide to western raptors

Covering 47 birds of prey found across the western United States, this field guide narrows identification to species in the region. Its layout moves from broad groups—such as eagles, hawks, owls, and falcons—to comparisons by size, with sketches, silhouettes, and photographs to help distinguish similar birds. The revised second edition adds updated photographs and range maps, expanded information, and naturalist notes. Its coverage spans 12 western states, from Alaska and Washington to Arizona and New Mexico, making the book a compact reference for identifying raptors in the field.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Birdwatchers identifying raptors in the western United States
