A FIELD COMPANION TO NORTH AMERICA'S FAVORITE BIRDS OF PREY

Are you intrigued by those graceful birds soaring overhead, waiting to swoop down on their unsuspecting prey?
Simply nuts about raptors and want to learn more about them?
Want to be able to identify the magnificent hawk you just photographed before uploading to Flickr?
Are you a serious birder wanting to hone your raptor identification skills in the field?
Quickly figure out what just landed in your back yard, clearing your feeder and making all the songbirds eerily quiet ...
Includes all nineteen common migratory raptors of North America and over 200 full color, high resolution photos.

This multimedia software features stunning hi-res photos, typical sounds and helpful descriptions. Much of this exclusive content has been specially created for the iPhone by noted raptor expert, Jerry Liguori, photographer and author of Hawks from Every Angle. http://press.princeton.edu/titles/8025.html

Identification is easy with zoom-in color photos, and detailed summaries of shape and flight characteristics for each species.
Multiple photos of plumage variations from different perspectives are included for each bird.

If you want to know the raptors present in your area, there are range maps for each species. Hear a bird but can't see it? High-quality vocalizations for each bird are included so you can make identifications from sound alone.

EXTRA FUN FOR ADULTS & KIDS: Reinforce your raptor knowledge or challenge your birding friends with the built-in quizzes for both visual and sound identification.

BONUS: Store your personal sightings in an easy-to-use database, for future reference or uploading to eBird. (http://ebird.org/content/ebird/)
