Ten projects are shown in great detail: gray and red screech owls, saw-whet owl, snowy owl, osprey, American kestrel, female merlin, miniature flying peregrine falcon, antiqued goshawk and red-tailed hawk. Color paint charts present the special blendings of pigments to accurately paint these birds as well as a variety of other species of eagles, hawks, harriers and owls.
