Australian Falcons

“Dr Stephen Debus has authored a fantastic new book, Australian Falcons: Ecology, Behaviour and Conservation, which has been recently published by CSIRO Publishing and should be an invaluable resource for raptor biologists, birdwatchers, and all those that work with raptor conservation.” * Wildlife Health Australia, *“Stephen Debus is doubtless the best-known currently publishing author specialising in Australian raptors. […] Rather than spell out the contents of each chapter I’ll leave you to imagine any aspect of a falcon’s life, behaviour, ecology, diet and anything else you might want to know about and I can assure you that if it’s known, it’s here!” – Ian Abbott * Western Australian Bird Notes #184 *“This is a high-quality, highly readable book. It will be appreciated by anyone with an interest in Australian birds and, in particular,Australian raptors. The strongest praise I can give it is that I came away with a renewed appreciation of the diversity and unique attributes of Australia’s six resident species of falcon.” – Chris Pavey * Australian Field Ornithology *“This is an authoritative update on this fascinating group of birds that will be of value to raptor ecologists, ornithologists more generally and the general public that has an interest in these iconic species.” – James Fitzsimons * Corella *
