This book is a refereed collection of papers presented at the Second International Symposium on Biomedical Research in Raptors. This meeting was convened in October 1988 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Raptor Research Foundation, Inc.

“The most complete handbook for rehabilitators of diurnal and nocturnal birds of prey. Very good information on all possible aspects of determining and healing all kinds of problems which could occur in this field. Good tables and figures complete this significant work and is a must have for laboratories and rehabilitation centers working with raptors and owls. Also falconers will gain a good impression on the possible diseases and illnesses of their most beloved birds. The only minus could be its presentation being ringbanded and if written by a typewriter but this should be forgotten as the information included is yet the best in its field in addition with previous work of these authors”
