Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5-The only two native species of North American eagles, the bald and golden, are treated in this comparative presentation. Patent describes how their numbers declined dramatically during the 19th and 20th centuries due to habitat loss, DDT-caused eggshell thinning, and hunting. She also discusses the work of wildlife rehabilitators and conservation efforts. Splendid full-color photographs illustrate the lively text and clarify descriptions. Helen Sattler's Book of Eagles (Lothrop, 1989) presents eagles from all over the world. Dorothy Patent's Where the Bald Eagles Gather (Clarion, 1984) focuses on the bald eagles of Montana's Glacier National Park. Her new book is the only one available for this audience that gives equal attention to both American eagles.?Barbara B. Murphy, Shaler Area School District Libraries, Pittsburgh

This review is from: Eagles of America (Hardcover)
Dorothy Patent's book joins the other books in this genre for kids at the head of the list. The text is clear, interesting, and informative. The photos are wonderful. It has already been permanently borrowed from the library by a young fan. Our school is in Western Montana and the youngsters have a great interest in books about animals native to this part of the country. Ms Patent's other books are well-read here!
