A delightful and dramatic collection of portraits, revealing birds of prey as we rarely experience them: intimate and up close, photographed in Traer Scott's signature style.
“"Traer Scott's ninth photographic book comprises 70 colour portraits of 25 bird of prey species. Shot close-up in her studio against plain backdrops, her images show the birds in great detail and encourage us to marvel at the variety of shapes and sizes in these intensely watchful, aerodynamic creatures." - Royal Photography Society Journal-- -”
"[A] gorgeous, fascinating collection of birds - to inform and help identify 25 different species of hawks, owls, falcons, a bald eagle, kestrels, a Mississippi kite, a turkey vulture, and more.Through the author's lens the raptors she introduces emerge as personalities, not just types: wise, mysterious, and fiercely confident. It's impossible not to be in awe of the their intensity and challenges to thrive in our complicated environment."
