published since the 1983 publication of Harrison’s Seabirds: An Identification
Guide. It covers all known seabirds, beginning with seaducks and grebes and
ending with cormorants and pelicans. Lavishly illustrated and detailed throughout
the 600 pages, this guide gives full treatment to all known seabird species
including recently rediscovered and rarely seen species.
The essential new identification guide to the seabirds of the world.
239
superb, full-colour plates with extensive captions and detailed facing-plate
identification texts and maps, to enable identification at a glance.
More
than 3,800 full-colour figures with illustrations of distinct subspecies,
sexes, ages and morphs, are further supported by in-text identification keys
and figures.
Comprehensive
and definitive, the text covers status and conservation, geographic range,
movements and migration, breeding biology and feeding habits, plus
identification and latest taxonomic treatments.
The
only seabird guide to cover all known seabird groups and species. Seabirders
worldwide will find this to be an authoritative, one-of-a-kind publication for
use around the globe.
