Praise for Great Gray Owl and Snowy Owl

Owls Uninterrupted

“Award-winning photographer Paul Bannick of Seattle has compiled two showy coffee-table tombs for owl-lovers and those who want to look at cool, photos of owls uninterrupted in nature. Many of the stunning photos feature behaviors that have rarely, if ever, been captured by cameras, accompanied by first-hand accounts from Bannick’s nearly 20 years of field observation and the latest science.”

Birdbooker Report

Two-Hoo-Hoo Beautiful New Books

“Local nature photographer and owl pal Paul Bannick has released two-hoo-hoo beautiful new books. With Snowy Owl and Great Gray Owl, Bannick trains his lens on these magnificent beasts, educating readers in the habitats and habits of, as he calls them, “two of the world’s most charismatic birds.”

Crosscut

Magic and Beauty

“If your average picture is worth a thousand words, a Paul Bannick wildlife photograph is worth 20,000. Having worked with wildlife photographers for articles in Audubon, Smithsonian, Sierra, National Wildlife and other magazines for 45 years, I have yet to encounter one who better captures the magic and beauty of the natural world. I was absolutely blown away by his two recent books — Snowy Owl and Great Gray Owl. No tame, game-farm birds in these spectacular collections or in any of Bannick’s work. He immerses himself in the wild and brings his viewers and readers along with him. Little wonder that he is a multiple award winner.”

Ted Williams, Award WInning wildlife journalist

Visually Spectacular

“‘Great Gray Owl’ and ‘Snowy Owl’ are two visually spectacular and informatively captioned photographic compendiums that are a pure delight to browse through and a ‘must’ for the growing legions of birdwatching enthusiasts.”

Midwest Book Review

Outstanding Photographs

“Although the two books are most impressive for their outstanding photographs, they incorporate natural history information, first-person accounts of the author’s owling experiences and sections on the birds’ conservation statuses and what we can do to help.”

Nancy Lord, Anchorage Daily News

Extraordinary

“Snowy Owl: A Visual Natural History” and “Great Gray Owl: A Visual Natural History,” both by Paul Bannick (Mountaineers Books). From a Seattle photographer and publisher, these two books are “extraordinary, for any bird lovers on anyone’s list.”

Georgiana Blomberg of Magnolia’s Bookstore

Remarkable

“Snowy Owl: A Visual Natural History and its companion book, Great Gray Owl: A Visual Natural History are exceptional books for all birders’ libraries, and anyone even mildly interested in birds will find the visual effects remarkable.”
