Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Was Caesar like the eagle because of his aquiline (from aquila, for eagle in Latin) nose, or does the eagle seem imperial because of his Caesarlike beak? Does the sharp vision of a hawkeyed observer have any basis in nature? And what the heck is kettling to a birdwatcher, or, for that matter, a bird? Raptors have captured the imagination from time immemorial and have an especially rich history in Minnesota. The ancient peoples whose pictographs adorn the rock faces of Lake Superiors North Shore may well have witnessed the first hawk movements along Lake Superiorthe same annual migration that today draws as many as twenty thousand people to Duluths Hawk Ridge. These birds, passing through in astounding numbers, are among the hawks and accipiters, buteos and harriers, eagles and ospreys pictured and profiled in detail in this book.Written by one of Minnesotas bestknown bird authorities, with images by one of the states favorite illustrators, Hawk Ridge is as fun as it is informative. It introduces the states raptors, from the rare visitor to the most familiar hawk, noting each species signature traitsosprey wings, for instance, are crooked to help them catch fish; vultures urinate on their legs to cool themselvesand their nesting, breeding, and migrating habits. Did you know that Sharpshinned Hawks banded at Hawk Ridge have been found throughout Central America and even into South America, and also, in midwinter, in Wisconsin? Laura Erickson offers a broad perspective (a birdseye view!), making sense of the raptors role in the larger ornithological scheme.With descriptions of various speciesand helpful distinctions between species, families, and ordersthe book gives readers a clear idea of which raptors might be seen in Minnesota, when, where, and how often. It also includes a hawk migration primer that explains the movements that bring these birds in such aweinspiring numbers to places like Hawk Ridge. Filled with curious facts and practical information for expert and amateur birdwatcher alike, the book is at once a guide to the hawks of Minnesota and a beautifully illustrated album of the most regal members of the avian kingdom.
