This is the first systematic owl checklist for over 50 years to include subspecies and synonyms. Reflecting a high level of scientific expertise and the most up-to-date research, this checklist provides an outstanding resource for scientific collections, studies of global biodiversity, and species preservation. The book provides information on the type, locality, habitat and distribution of 220 owl species and 539 taxa, as well as the location of museum collections of skins and mounted specimens, and references to owl illustrations. In addition to scientific names, the common names of each species in English, German, French and Spanish are listed. The checklist is complemented by many beautiful owl drawings and by watercolours illustrating owl species that have been newly described or rediscovered within the last 20 years.

Industry Reviews

From the reviews:

"The cryptic coloration and secretive lifestyle of owls (Strigiformes) have made their taxonomy problematic for many years. ... Two unique features of this book are the lists of museums holding specimens and the lists of references to illustrations and photographs. ... I was surprised to find an account of an entirely new species of owl in this book. ... In short, Weick's Checklist has many features of a scholarly work and will be useful to specialists and bird illustrators ... ." (George Sangster, IBIS, Issue 149, 2007)

"This is a global list of owl taxa in systematic order by subspecies. Weick is a professional wildlife artist, and amateur ornithologist (with a professional approach). This list is that of a classical museum taxonomist, though selectively talking into account some recent DNA data. ... it makes an invaluable contribution to knowledge of owls and is indispensable to owl biologists, particularly those dealing with taxonomy." (Stephen Debus, Austral Ornithology, Vol. 107, 2007)
