Awesome Ospreys: Fishing birds of the World

Love, Donna / Turley, Joyce Mihran

Publié en 2006

Livre
Documentaire

Known by ornithologists as "citizens of the world," ospreys are among the most widely distributed bird species on earth, living on every continent except Antarctica. Their enormous nests of heavy sticks are highly visible at the tops of tall trees, power poles, and man-made nesting platforms. The birds also have an exceptional tolerance for people, blithely going about their business near busy roads, riverbanks, lakeshores, and marinas; thus they are among the most readily observed of all raptors (the group of birds that includes ospreys and their relatives, the hawks, eagles, and falcons). In Awesome Ospreys: Fishing Birds of the World, author Donna Love enthusiastically shares her knowledge of ospreys and their life cycle, from courtship, nesting, and raising their young to their yearly migrations. In beautiful colors that evoke the ospreys' aquatic world, illustrator Joyce Turley brings these birds to life in a book that will appeal to readers both young and old. Suggested activities to try with teachers or parents give kids the chance to explore what it's like to fly, live, and fish like an osprey. An appendix with osprey physiology, a range map, index, and lists of Web sites and suggested readings point young naturalists toward further research.
