Owl: A Year in the Lives of North American Owls

Bannick, a Seattle photographer and naturalist, has captured the lives of owls in all their weird majesty, through the kind of stunning moments—at home, in flight, and with prey—that take hours and months and years of patience to acquire, and he places them in context of their life cycles, their habitats, and the modern threats to their survival. A breaktaking standout in the annual array of books of nature photography.
