Having trouble separating your scops from your screech owls, Tengmalm”s from Tawny Owl or Collared and Spotted Owlets? Then this is the book for you.

In this second edition, recent changes to owl taxonomy are incorporated with full descriptions (and images) of a number of new species, plus a several new photographs to improve this book”s amazing photographic coverage still further.
