Debbie Stewart's The Hunters is no mere flight of fancy. Here's a sumptuously illustrated salute to New Zealand's raptors. Although some birds of prey have vanished from our skies (including the largest flying bird in NZ natural history, the formidable Haast's eagle), others endure, albeit precariously. ... Detailed, informative, but always readable, The Hunters can't be dismissed as a book solely for the dedicated ornithologist. Stewart's fascination with a group of feathered hunters, each perfectly adapted to their environment, is infectious.
