With its full coverage of waterbirds and migrants, as well as resident tropical species, and its discussion of such topics as plumages, vocalizations, food habits, nesting, and distribution, it is truly a guide to the birds themselves, not merely a guide to their identification. It is a book for people who want to know what a bird looks like, where it lives, how it behaves, what it eats , and how it reproduces." 511 pages, colour plates, index and maps.
