Underappreciated Scavengers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
This is an excellent book with beautiful photographs of vultures and the role they play in nature. It includes the different species of vultures and buzzards as well as their habitats and lifestyles. The very serious issue of possible extiction that some species are facing has also been included. The part humans can play in protecting these birds is an issue that is raised throughout the book. Readers of all ages will come to appreciate this often maligned scavenger for keeping the world a cleaner place.
