A new silhouette "Guide to Hawks Seen in North America" is available free from the Hawk Migration Association of North America (HMANA) at www.hmana.orghttp://www.hmana.org. The two-page guide helps you compare the shape and key field marks of 21 species of migratory hawks seen throughout most of North America. The guide is a handy field reference for all hawk watchers, and a great start for beginning hawk watchers.
The guide is designed and illustrated by Paul Carrier, the artist who conceived and developed the popular, ground-breaking silhouette guide to hawks in the 1970s, as well as the recent "Guide to Hawks Seen in the North East" (also available for free download on the HMANA web site, along with a free PowerPoint presentation on identifying hawks of the northeast ).
"A Guide to Hawks Seen in North America" is available in two forms:
* A downloadable PDF for single-copy printout for personal, non-commercial use.
* A professionally printed copy on durable card stock laminated for long-term use in the field. Individual laminated copies cost $5.00 each + $1 shipping. Special bulk prices are also available on the web site
Proceeds from individual and bulk sales support HMANA's effort to promote research, education, and conservation regarding our birds of prey. For complete information, and to order or download the new guide, visit www.hmana.orghttp://www.hmana.org
