A distant owl’s mournful hoot echoes through a frozen forest. A shadow swoops across the tundra; lemmings and voles scurry beneath the foliage as the raspy cry of a hawk is carried on the cold north wind. Alaska is home to many of the world largest and most dangerous creatures, but none spark the human imagination like a bird of prey. With this book. Alaska’s unique collection of birds of prey, owls, eagles, hawks, falcons, eagles, and harriers come to new life. Crowley’s detailed woodcuts and rigorous research brings new life to these raptors and provides the reader with a raw perspective on their biology, history, and most of all, beauty.

Born in Detroit in 1975, Kevin Crowley first moved to Alaska in 1999 to work in a village along the banks of the Yukon. In the intervening years, he has focused his creative energies on reflecting the splendor of the Alaskan wilderness in his art. Working in the ancient medium of woodblock printmaking, he strives to create a partnership between his imagery and the unique characteristics of each block of wood.
