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.OwlsOwls.598.97König Klaus(Claus)263579Weick Friedhelm1695740Wink Michael511854MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810896703321Owls of the world4075211UNINA
