The plumages of many species are cryptic and difficult to separate by plumage alone. This problem is compounded by the different morphs that many adopt. This book fully describes every known species and subspecies of owl, as well as presenting the latest evidence on owl taxonomy, based on DNA work and vocalisations. Because voice is vital in owl identification, much emphasis is placed on it in the book and sonograms are provided for many species. A CD of owl vocalisations will accompanyHelm identification guides.OwlsElectronic books.Owls.598.97König Klaus(Claus)263579Weick Friedhelm945064Wink Michael511854MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459857703321Owls of the world2133488UNINA
