Bald eagles are the subject of 40 Years from the Brink of Extinction, a handsome new photography book by John D. Chaney that collects 40 years of his work documenting America's favorite bird. This large-format hardcover features 63 beautiful photographs of eagles in their natural habitat, interspersed with interesting facts about this bird of prey. Chaney's photographs capture eagles' majesty in flight, on the hunt, raising their chicks, and interacting with others.
John Chaney, an award-winning nature photographer for over 40 years, became passionate about photography when a college professor inspired him to use his skills to document the beauty and behavior of the magnificent American bald eagles before they lost their battle for existence.
