Synopsis
This book -- a visual grade to the structure and anatomy of birds -- is one of the most heavily illustrated ornithology references ever written. A concise atlas of avian anatomy, it contains more than 200 specially prepared, accurate, and clear drawings. The text is as informative as the drawings; written at a level appropriate to bird watchers in general and to undergraduate students in particular, it explains why birds look and act the way they do.
Description
