AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Wildfowl – An Identification Guide to the Ducks, Geese and Swans of the World (Helm Field/Identification Guide) by Steve Madge and illustrator Hilary Burn is a worldwide identification book for ducks, geese, and swans. The guide covers around 150+ species with concise yet scientifically reliable species descriptions regarding identification, plumages (including difficult transitional and eclipse plumages), age/sex, distribution, status, and habitat. Its strength lies in the combination of clear descriptions with dozens of color plates and easy-to-read distribution maps, intended as a handy field reference that goes beyond regional guides. The first edition was published by Christopher Helm in the late 1980s and is considered a classic within the Helm Identification Guides series.
Kingfishers, bee-eaters, and rollers - An overview of the 123 species of kingfishers, bee-eaters, and rollers.
Many of the 123 species of kingfishers, bee-eaters, and wagtails, stunningly beautiful, are little known. This reference work provides an overview of the group, including all species, all major races, and most sex and age differences. The text and 40 color plates are closely aligned, emphasizing behavior, field marks, and identification. Color maps showing breeding and wintering areas are also included.
Hardcovers in very good condition. See the photos for details.
