This is the first systematic owl checklist for over 50 years to
include subspecies and synonyms. The book provides information on
the type, locality, habitat and distribution of 220 owl species and
539 taxa, as well as the location of museum collections of skins
and mounted specimens, and references to owl illustrations. In
addition to scientific names, the common names of each species in
English, German, French and Spanish are listed. The checklist is
complemented by many beautiful owl drawings and by watercolours
illustrating owl species that have been newly described or
rediscovered within the last 20 years.
