"This fascinating and dramatic collection of portraits reveals birds of prey as we rarely experience them: intimate and up close, photographed in Traer Scott's signature style, twenty-eight different species are represented, from the familiar to the exotic and endangered: hawks, owls, falcons, vultures, a bald eagle, a kestrel, a Mississippi Kite, and many others.
