Product Information
Raptors of Eastern North America --together with its companion volume, Raptors of Western North America --are the best and most thorough guides to North American hawks, eagles, and other raptors ever published. Abundantly illustrated with hundreds of full-color high-quality photographs, they are essential books for anyone seeking to identify these notoriously tricky-to-identify birds. The Wheeler Guides will help birders and biologists navigate the pitfalls of raptor identification, including raptors' often extreme variation by age and sex as well as the existence of numerous confusion species. The plumage section discusses more plumage variations--and in greater consistency, depth, and clarity--than any previously published guide. The text--informed by years of study and consultation with local, state, provincial, and regional experts--covers all aspects of raptor biology in an easy-to-read and consistent format. It provides the most up-to-date information available on status and distribution, taking into account the recent alteration of some species' ranges due to pesticide bans and introduction programs. The range maps--which include city plotting--are the most accurate and largest ever produced for North American raptors.

Reviews
"Let me begin by saying this is a wonderful book. . . . This is easily the best photographic-style guide I have seen and is a real testament to the autho''s dedication. Thus it is the most thorough guide to this group of North American birds you can purchase. The full-color, superb photographs alone are worth the price of the book." --Roy John, The Canadian Field Naturalist, "The new Wheeler guides are, by far, the best guides for field identification and general reference for North American raptors that I have seen. The photos are both plentiful and stunning. . . . The new Wheeler guides, like the birds they elucidate and display, are gems for us all. They are well worth having." ---Donald Sweig, Audubon Naturalist News, Let me begin by saying this is a wonderful book. . . . This is easily the best photographic-style guide I have seen and is a real testament to the autho''s dedication. Thus it is the most thorough guide to this group of North American birds you can purchase. The full-color, superb photographs alone are worth the price of the book. ---Roy John, The Canadian Field Naturalist, These two books are major contributions to the literature of North American vultures and Falconiform raptors. . . .

Heintzelman, International Hawkwatcher, "[These are] publications that go beyond the coverage of other field guides. . . . [A]n important addition to your library." --Deb Dowdell, New Jersey Audubon, "A highly significant contribution to the field. Wheeler has accomplished what no other guide has done for any group of birds. The quality of photography, scope and depth on plumages, races, and variations, are unequaled. The range maps are stellar--the best ever done for any guide. It is the ultimate raptor reference and will be for decades to come." --Clay Sutton, Recognized as one, if not the best, photographic-style bird guides available, the Wheeler guides help birders identify numerous confusing species.
