With its wide-eyed, intense stare and fierce predatory nature, the owl is one of nature's more intriguing subjects for wildlife artists. However, because of its nocturnal habits, an accurate reference of this fascinating bird of prey has been hard to find - until now.

The ultimate reference guide for bird lovers or artists, this final volume in the Denny Rogers Visual Reference Series presents 200 meticulous and anatomically accurate drawings that capture each magnificent owl from every angle and in multiple poses.

Along with comprehensive drawings, you’ll find photographs – both in-flight and still -- to help recreate these formidable night-time hunters down to the stripes, speckles, and streaks of their feathers. Also included are scale-charts for matching your desired dimensions without sacrificing proportion, and exclusive underside and topside color charts with paint patterns created by award-winning bird carver Lori Corbett.

The Illustrated Owl is a visual study that over-delivers detail and is a must have for any artist!
