Over the twenty-four years since the publication of Clay Sutton, Pete Dunne, and David Sibley’s Hawks in Flight back in 1988, it has become just short of holy scripture for all those wishing to learn how effectively to identify airborne raptors in North America – particularly those seen at a great distance. Now, nearly a quarter of a century later, these same three gentlemen have joined together one again with Houghton Mifflin Harcourt to produce Hawks in Flight, Second Edition. What new revelations are contained within it? Only a thorough reading will tell – and so will I once I’ve completed said reading.
