The Owls of North American
1973

A large, coffee-table sized volume, richly and brilliantly illustrated with the watercolors of wildlife artist Karl E. Karalus, this book closely describes the natural history of all known species and subspecies of owls in North American -- from the largest (the Great Gray Owl of the north) to the smallest (the elf and pygmy owls of the desert southwest), including their descriptions, courtship and nesting habits, hunting abilities, hearing and night vision and various other aspects of their natural history. Published in a high-quality leatherbound, gilt-edged limited edition, in a special hardbound boxed edition and in a standard dust-jacketed hardbound edition. Originally published in 1979 by Doubleday, New York City. Later republished in a cheaper hardcover edition by Crown.
