Even people with little interest in birds will stop in their tracks at the sight of a hawk soaring overhead or a falcon perched on a window ledge. Birds of prey have an aura few creatures have. In his acclaimed Hawks in Flight, Pete Dunne showed what birds of prey look like. In The Wind Masters, he shows what it is like to be a bird of prey. He takes us inside the lives and minds of all thirty-four species of day-flying raptors found in North America - hawks, falcons, eagles, vultures, the osprey, and the harrier - and shows us how each bird sees the world, hunts its prey, finds and courts its mate, rears its young, grows up, grows old, and dies. Vividly written and beautifully illustrated, The Wind Masters does for the birds of prey what Peter Matthiessen's The Wind Birds does for shorebirds.

Seller's Description:
Very Good in Fine jacket. Size: 6x1x8; One page corner has been turned, else in Very Good+ condition with Fine dustjacket. Signed "Pete Dunne" on title page. Scarce thus. An educational collection of 29 natural history essays that explores the striking beauty and inherent vulnerability of the natural world. Originally published in 1995 through the University of Texas Press, most of these highly observed, intimate pieces first appeared in Dunne's regular column for the Sunday New York Times (New Jersey edition). Pete Dunne, born in 1951, is an American author and natural history writer. He is considered one of the most important figures in modern bird watching in North America. The Wall Street Journal called him the Bard of Birding. He has worked for decades to promote bird conservation and make bird identification accessible. He founded the Cape May Bird Observatory (CMBO) in New Jersey. He was the director and Vice President of Natural History for the New Jersey Audubon Society until 2013. Later, he became the Birding Ambassador.
