His stellar "Field Guide to Owls of California and the West" is a fitting companion to his recent, acclaimed "Raptors of California.""Owls" is not only an excellent field guide, but also an amazing primer on owl biology and behavior. It sets a new standard and, what's more, is both a visual treat and a captivating read."--Clay Sutton, coauthor of "How to Spot an Owl" and other books "An enjoyable and wonderfully illustrated companion to "Raptors of California."

Peeters has delivered an exquisitely illustrated, thoroughly researched, and engagingly written guide that will be as valuable to young students as it will be to seasoned biologists."--Allen Fish, Director, Golden Gate Raptor Observatory
