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 accompany 410 0$aHelm identification guides. 606 $aOwls 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aOwls. 676 $a598.97 700 $aKo?nig$b Klaus$g(Claus)$0263579 701 $aWeick$b Friedhelm$0945064 701 $aWink$b Michael$0511854 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459857703321 996 $aOwls of the world$92133488 997 $aUNINA
