Northern Goshawk, the Gray Ghost: Habits, Habitat, and Rehabilitation Hardcover December 28, 2015

** The Gray Ghost** "The Gray Ghost," authored by Rashid, offers an intimate glimpse into the world of Goshawks, capturing their behavior primarily through photography. Reviews highlight Rashid's impressive ability to document these raptors in their natural habitat, with many praising the detailed shots of both adults and their young. Readers appreciated the author's commitment to getting close to the birds and noted the unique moments captured, such as interactions between different bird species like Gray Jays and Goshawk fledglings. However, the reception of the book has not been uniformly positive. Some reviewers found the overall presentation lacking, describing the physical attributes of the book as thin and insubstantial, questioning its price point at $22. Criticism also extends to the quality of the author’s illustrations, which have been described as amateurish. Several readers noted they could find similar information in other resources, indicating that seasoned birders may not find new insights within these pages. The disparity in customer experience suggests a divide: while some are captivated by the photographic content and Rashid’s passion for Goshawks, others perceive the book to lack depth and artistic merit. Overall, "The Gray Ghost" is a mixed bag, appealing more to casual birdwatchers and photography enthusiasts than to those seeking a comprehensive guide on Goshawks. **
