Friedhelm Weick was born in Karlsruhe, Germany. For 35 years he worked as a technician

in the construction industry. Throughout this time he painted birds, and since 1965 he has

also been a professional illustrator and wildlife artist. Since 1988 he has been a graphic

designer at the Museum for Natural History in Karlsruhe, a job which entailed painting a

complete range of animals and plants. He illustrated over 120 books, including most vol-

Württembergs (1987–2006). His work has appeared in all leading wildlife magazines. In

addition, he has published books in his own right, including Birds of Prey of the World , in

collaboration with L. H. Brown, Owls, a Guide to the Owls of the World , in collaboration with

C. König and J. H. Becking and Anmut im Federkleid , in collaboration with O. Kröher.
