EVERETT of the RSPB,presents a fascinating insight into the biology and ecology of these beautifully adapted hunters of the night.In the opening chapter he analyses the origin and evolution of owls on the basis of the, at best,fragmentary evidence.He goes on to survey the owls of the world which range in size from the diminutive Elf Owl of America to the powerful Eurasian Eagle Owl.Owls exploit many habitats and food resources and EVERETT discusses the specialised anatomy of the birds and how they make use of their skills thus enabling them to be such successful predators.Closes with a look at the 'home' life of owls including courtship,mating, rearing young,followed by chapter on owl's relationship with man - unfortunately not always happy.
