As old-growth forest is increasingly lost to logging, the spotted owl population is declining precipitously in both Canada and the U.S. This beautiful book is a must for anyone who cares about the preservation of nature and the fate of this emblem of the old-growth forest. Jared Hobbs' stunning images capture these nocturnal hunters in flight with wings spread, at rest on moss-covered branches, or tending to their young. Master birder Richard Cannings explores the natural history of the owls, the threats to their survival, and the attempts at their recovery.Cannings, Richard J. is the author of 'Spotted Owls Shadows in an Old-growth Forest', published 2007 under ISBN 9781553652410 and ISBN 155365241X.
