Book excerpt: There's a hawk in the city! New York City is known for its sky-scrapers, subways, and hustle and bustle -- not for its wildlife. So everyone is surprised when a red-tailed hawk is spotted flying over Fifth Avenue, and even more surprised when he decides to settle down on the ledge of one of the Big Apple's swankiest apartment buildings. The hawk soon draws many admirers. They name him Pale Male and watch as he builds his nest, finds a mate, and teaches his little hawk babies to fly. Based on the true story of Pale Male, City Hawk brings New York City's favorite hawk to life in a story of family, perseverance, and big-city living.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ebook offers a window into the world of the Peregrine Falcon. Reaching speeds in excess of 200 miles per hour, the Peregrine Falcon is famous as the world's fastest bird. However, its penchant for choosing inaccessible places to breed, feed and roost mean that few people are well acquainted with its habits and behaviour. Peregrine Falcon contains a combination of high quality images and beautifully written text, with chapters on subjects such as hunting, raising young and how populations around the world have rallied against the threat of extinction and are now prospering once again. The birds are further brought to life through a series of personal anecdotes from the author and photographers, which are woven into the text. The ebook is part of a series that also includes the titles Barn Owl and Kingfisher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Pierre, an African penguin living at the California Academy of Sciences, begins to lose his feathers, the zoo staff is at a loss as to what to do. The lack of feathers causes Pierre to lose warmth, making him afraid to swim in the zoo pool. And the other penguins start to shy away, giving Pierre the "cold" shoulder. Unfortunately, heaters and medications fail to correct the situation. But one rainy day, inspiration strikes a biologist named Pam. While walking her dog in the rain, Pam notes that her pet wears a raincoat. Could a "raincoat," or wet suit, help Pierre? A tiny neoprene wet suit is designed especially for Pierre. But will it work?

Since 1987, a nest box atop the tall buildings at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, has been home to generations of peregrine falcons. Established to help save the endangered species, the Mayo Clinic Peregrine Falcon Program allows patients, staff and falcon fans around the world to watch — in person or online — as the falcons raise their young. Through these majestic creatures, we see that nature can be a vital part of the healing process and a reminder of the wonder of daily life. Wildlife lovers of all ages can meet the falcons and learn about the earth’s fastest animal through fun activities and surprising facts. Inspiring stories, original illustrations, color photographs and a stunning four-color centerfold depicting a chick's development also bring the peregrines of Mayo Clinic to life. Printed on high quality paper ready to enhance with crayons, pencils, markers, or watercolors, each coloring page is perforated for easy removal and display. Taking Flight: The Peregrine Falcons of Mayo Clinic is more than a coloring book — it’s a tribute to the resilience of the birds who inspired it.
