I also have a copy of Hawks From Every Angle. I think it's a great
photographic reference to our raptors in flight, although I can't say I've
ever used it in the field. I would probably take it if I was doing a hawk
watch.

Most tricky raptor IDs are at a distance, so maybe that would be the one to
try first.
