About This Item
Facts on File Inc., New York, 1989. Fine/Very Good. Octavo, hardcover, fine in near fine grey pictorial wraps. Giftable. 208 pp. including index. Black-and-white and color illustrations and photos. Clean, tight, unmarked condition. This one essential book will enable both the novice and the professional to meet the two great challenges in identifying shorebirds' species: their similarity in appearance and their tendency, due to far-ranging migratory habits, to appear almost anywhere, from arctic tundra to tropical savnna. Information is provided on habitats, behaviour, plumage terminology, molts, and migration patterns.
