A very useful reference - excellent photos!

Exhaustive and complete. Very informative for every bird-lover

Most complete reference of seabirds available

This is an absolutely indispensable reference on sea birds, including penguins. It is the most complete book available on the subject and makes identifying the birds a breeze. It is truly fascinating book. Detailed information on nearly 300 species is included. Detailed juvenile & adult descriptions are given for each bird. Facts about distribution & population are also provided. There are over 800 photographs that are arranged from six to nine to a page. Many have never been published before. Usually there are at least two clear close-up photographs of each species. Captions list the species, approximate age, & location. Photographic acknowledgments are listed in the back. The topography guide is a nice bonus. This is a beautiful and informative book for any bird lover.
