Beautiful Owls by Marianne Taylor

Beautiful Owls by Marianne Taylor

From Minervas sacred companion to the intellectual leader of 100 Acre Wood in Winnie the Pooh, these most mysterious members of the kingdom of birds have long been revered as feathery embodiments of wisdom and vigilance, as well as admired for their breathtaking beauty. With 40 gorgeous portraits, Beautiful Owls takes the best of the strigiform family, offering up such stunning examples as the Abyssinian Eagle, the Sunda Scops, and the adorable Pygmy Burrowing Owl, every one shown in stunning high-definition detail.

Taylor, Marianne: -

Marianne Taylor is a freelance writer, illustrator, photographer, and editor. Her interest in natural history began at an extremely early age, as she became passionately interested in first butterflies and then birds. The daughter of two librarians, one of whom later became a secondhand bookseller, Marianne was as bookish as she was bird-obsessed. She worked for seven years in natural history publishing, first for bird book publisher Christopher Helm, and later for Birdwatch magazine. Her particular interest in owls and other birds of prey was fueled by a brief but unforgettable adventure in 2005, when she joined bird ringers studying Ural, Tengmalm's, and Eagle owls in the forests of Sweden. She began a new career as a writer in 2007, and since then has written more than a dozen books for adults and children on a range of natural history subjects. Her previous work includes RSPB British Birds of Prey, Beautiful Owls, and Owls.
