A book for bird watcher, taxonomist, and behavioral scientist alike - and for bird book collectors. This work which is Volume 2 of a set of 9, compiled by a team of leading ornithologists with contributions from international experts from many countries, will remain the standard reference work for many years to come. It covers all aspects of identification including voice (with sound spectrograms illustrated), behaviour, breeding, populations, migration, and distribution maps. The superb illustrations include all plumages at rest and in flight. This book is just one of a number of volumes I am selling from this series on this site. Ref LLL 4
