Petrels, Albatrosses, and Storm-petrels of North America, A Photographic Guide

by Steve N. G. Howell

  • FIELD GUIDE
  • 2012
  • HARD COVER
  • 482 PAGES

A teacher and popular tour leader, the exuberant Steve Howell packs detailed species accounts, range maps and hundreds of color photographs of birds in flight and at sea into this hefty handbook. Shearwaters, gadfly petrels, albatrosses, storm-petrels and all the other confusing tubenoses, 70 species in all, are covered in authoritative --and often witty -- detail. Introductory chapters on phylogeny and field identification are excellent. We can hardly wait for the field edition!  (BRD99, $45.00)
