no hesitation to recommand this book

The Illustrated Owl is an outstanding reference book in all aspects. The plates are clear and accurate; this is

a book that any wood carver should have in their library as well as wildlife artists and naturalists. I am not

aware of any other owl book that has the wealth of information that is presented in The Illustrated Owl. I

highly recommend this book for all public and private libraries.

This book is great. The illustrations show great looks at the feathers and other parts of the birds. Great for carving.

I have been a bird carver for around 20 years. My focus has been on songbirds. I have always strived for realism which is the result of studying the detail. I am now moving into birds of prey and this book is outstanding. The detailed reference in this book will allow me to accomplish today what took me 5 years of observation and study on songbirds.

Phenominal reference for any artist, flat or sculptural! The comprehensive photo and sketch poses leave no feather or posture for the imagination to fill in. Shows measurements singley and in proportion to the other parts of the body, even each specific primary feather! An absolute must have reference for these two owls.
