Download or read book Hawks from Every Angle written by Jerry Liguori and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-10 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identifying hawks in flight is a tricky business. Across North America, tens of thousands of people gather every spring and fall at more than one thousand known hawk migration sites--from New Jersey's Cape May to California's Golden Gate. Yet, as many discover, a standard field guide, with its emphasis on plumage, is often of little help in identifying those raptors soaring, gliding, or flapping far, far away. Hawks from Every Angle takes hawk identification to new heights. It offers a fresh approach that literally looks at the birds from every angle, compares and contrasts deceptively similar species, and provides the pictures (and words) needed for identification in the field. Jerry Liguori pinpoints innovative, field-tested identification traits for each species from the various angles that they are seen. Featuring 339 striking color photos on 68 color plates and 32 black & white photos, Hawks from Every Angle is unique in presenting a host of meticulously crafted pictures for each of the 19 species it covers in detail--the species most common to migration sites throughout the United States and Canada. All aspects of raptor identification are discussed, including plumage, shape, and flight style traits. For all birders who follow hawk migration and have found themselves wondering if the raptor in the sky matches the one in the guide, Hawks from Every Angle--distilling an expert's years of experience for the first time into a comprehensive array of truly useful photos and other pointers for each species--is quite simply a must. Key Features? The essential new approach to identifying hawks in flight Innovative, accurate, and field-tested identification traits for each species 339 color photos on 68 color plates, 32 black & white photos Compares and contrasts species easily confused with one another, and provides the pictures (and words) needed for identification in the field Covers in detail 19 species common to migration sites throughout the North America Discusses light conditions, how molt can alter the shape of a bird, aberrant plumages, and migration seasons and sites User-friendly format
Download or read book Environmental Science written by Dr. Raj Kumar Sharma and published by K.K. Publications. This book was released on 2022-03-13 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental Science The world is very crowded, more polluted, ecologically fragile and vulnerable to disruption and imbalance. Serious stresses involving population, resources and environment are clearly visible ahead. Despite greater material output, the world's people will be poorer in many ways than they are today. Regional water shortages will become more severe in the future. Significant loss of world forests will continue over the next 20 years as demand for forest products and fuelwood increases. Deterioration of agricultural soils will occur worldwide, due to erosion, loss of organic matter, desertification, salinization and waterlogging. Atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and ozone are depleting and this change may alter the world's climate and upper atmosphere significantly by 2050. Acid rain from the increased combustion of fossil fuels threatens and causes damage to lakes, soils and crops. Radioactive and other hazardous materials pose health and problems in most countries. Extinctions of plant and animal species will increase dramatically. More than 20 percent of all species on earth will be lost from their habitats and thus disappear, especially from tropical forests.
