Snowy Owl: A Visual Natural History

The Snowy Owl--also known as the Arctic Owl, Snowy White Owl, and White Owl-is one of the most easily identified but least understood owls in the world. Award-winning author and photographer Paul Bannick shares his unique and intimate photographs of these owls and delves into their natural history, including the latest research, providing readers with comprehensive yet accessible looks at their preferred habitat, hunting and feeding behavior, mating and nesting actions, owlets and fledglings, and more. PAUL BANNICK is a wildlife photographer specializing in the natural history of North America with a focus on birds and habitat. Coupling his love of the outdoors with his skill as a photographer, he creates images that foster the intimacy between viewer and subject, inspiring education and conservation. Paul's first book, The Owl and the Woodpecker, published by The Mountaineers Books in October of 2008, continues to be one of the best-selling bird books in North America, and was a finalist for the Washington State Book Award for general non-fiction. The University of Washington's Burke Museum is creating a traveling exhibit based on The Owl and the Woodpecker, which will begin touring North American cities in March of 2011
