Owls

Summary: Not Just for Carvers
Review: Floyd's 'Birds of Prey' was absolutely the best reference book for wildfowl artists ... until he wrote 'Owls'.

There are more birds featured, and there are more photos of each bird. If you liked the photos in Floyd's first book, you'll love these photos even more. He also provides more detailed patterns for each bird.

I'm ecstatic to be adding this volume to my bookshelf, and it's going to make a great gift for several of my family and friends.

And, if you are a carver, Floyd's Vermont Raptor Academy (referenced in the book) is an experience you don't want to miss.

Summary: Stunning!!!
Review: Having used Floyd's previous reference 'Birds of Prey' since 1995, I've been eagerly anticipating the arrival of 'Owls'. The quality of the photography and variety of poses, including many extreme close-ups, makes this a first rate reference book for any artist as well as a stunning book for display on your coffee table. The saying that "A picture is worth a thousand words" has never been truer. Anyone who loves these beautiful creatures will be overwhelmed by the elegance of this book. I'll be purchasing a second copy for display, as the one in my studio will be occupied for a while.

Summary: Owls by Floyd Scholz
Review: I thought I had seen the best of the best when I first saw Scholz's "Birds of Prey". I was wrong! "Owls" stands alone, without peers. "Owls" is a rare combination of text, photography and advice. The pictures are amazing. The text is readable and informative. The advice and patterns alone are worth far more than the price of the book. The unbelievable amount of research that went into this book is evident from the dust cover clear through to the last page. The book is a must for everyone who enjoys owls be it artist, carver, naturalist, bird lover or simply people who enjoy fantastic books. Considering the size and quality of "Owls", it is a bargin!

Review: If you have even the slightest interest in owls or birds in general this is the book for you. The pictures range from full shots of the individual species to minute details in plumage and even comparative pictures of feet and wing shape. This is truly the most well put together collection of owl photographs I've ever encountered. It even has a section in the back for artists who wish to use owls in carvings and paintings. All in all, this is a fantastic book.
