Review
“A gold mine of information on the bald eagle. It is well written and discusses many aspects of the bald eagle's life lacking or barely mentioned in other works.”—Audubon Naturalist Review
“The facts and historical perspective provided throughout the book will constantly entertain and amuse the reader. . . . The Bald Eagle completely recaptured my interest, as I am sure it will anyone who has an interest in learning more about our national symbol. If you have a sincere desire to learn about bald eagles, skip the coffee-table picture books—this is the one for you.”—Conservationist
“A definitive work on the ecology of the bald eagle. . . . The Bald Eagle begins with a history of the species as we know it in North America, through periods of near extinction at the first half of the century from over-hunting and habitat destruction, its recovery as environmentalists began to protect it, its brush with extinction again in the 1950s with DDT, and its recovery once again to the present.”—Prince Edward Island Evening Patriot
“A delightful, informative, and well-written book.”—Wilson Bulletin

Comments on "The Bald Eagle",
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bald Eagle: Haunts and Habits of a Wilderness Monarch (Paperback)
Each chapter of this book begins with an anecdotal episode from one of the two authors, drawn from their considerable experience in the field. The chapter continues with thorough general information about eagle biology. This combination of personal observation and factual information makes for a book that is both interesting and informative. I recommend it for anyone who wants to learn more about bald eagles and what it is like to observe them.
