Description of Owl: A Year in the Lives of North American Owls
Review 'Many of the species featured in Bannick's magnificent photos are listed as endangered; his book, a tribute to owls as well as a call to action, asks us to help these mysterious birds.' (Rebecca Ratterman Seattle Magazine)'...it's easy to become captivated by the owls in Bannick's book; their unruffled gazes peering out from the page. It's at once natural history, wildlife primer, and love letter.' - The Seattle Times (Moira Macdonald The Seattle Times)'Perhaps no other creature inspires a more instinctual and visceral connection with human beings than owls.' --Bainbridge Island Review (Luciano Marano Bainbridge Island Review)�Author and photographer Paul Bannick showcases another haunting and mysterious animal in Owl: A Year in the Lives of North American Owls (Braided River, $34.95). The stare of a Northern Hawk Owl perched on a burned snag, a Burrowing Owl lit by the last of the sun's rays, fleecy Boreal Owl nestlings--these amazing and fragile creatures are losing habitat, and that deserves our attention.� � Marilyn Dahl, Shelf Awareness (Marilyn Dahl Shelf Awareness)'With so many owl titles, is another really necessary? Definitely, in this case. Most highly recommended for all levels: public, professional, and young adult; will appeal to those interested in nature, North American habitats, and conservation. A gem.'--Henry T. Armistead, formerly with Free Library of Philadelphia (Henry T Armistead Library Journal) Read more About the Author PAUL BANNICK is a wildlife photographer specializing in the natural history of North America with a focus on birds and habitat. Coupling his love of the outdoors with his skill as a photographer, he creates images that foster the intimacy between viewer and subject, inspiring education and conservation. Paul's first book, The Owl and the Woodpecker, published by The Mountaineers Books in October of 2008, continues to be one of the best–selling bird books in North America, and was a finalist for the Washington State Book Award for general non-fiction. The University of Washington�s Burke Museum is creating a traveling exhibit based on The Owl and the Woodpecker, which will begin touring North American cities in March of 2011.
