"When it comes to scientific illustrations of owls, Friedhelm Weick’s name easily comes to the top. Most owl biologists own a copy of “Owls, A Guide to the Owls of the World” and/or “Owls of the World” by Claus Koenig and Friedhelm Weick, which summarize and illustrate all the owl species in the world—a very major feat!

Weick has worked as a professional illustrator since 1965, which included creating museum guides, posters, and painting natural landscapes and murals at the Museum for Natural History in Karlsruhe, Germany. He has also illustrated over 120 books, and his work has appeared in most leading wildlife magazines. He has published scientific papers about owls on his own and as a co-author, often illustrating new species or depicting the subtle differences between subspecies. He has also illustrated calendars and a checklist to the order of owls."

“Faszinierende Welt Der Eulen/Fascinating World of Owls” is his latest and one of his greatest works: a bilingual book featuring the rarest and most beautiful owls of the world.
