5.0 out of 5 stars Most complete reference of seabirds available, August 8, 1999
This review is from: Birds of the World: Seabirds (Hardcover)
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.

First Sentence:
Population and monitoring studies over the last 20 years have enhanced our knowledge of seabirds, and Birdlife International, in Birds to Watch 2 (Collar et al. 1994), classifies 20% of seabirds as globally threatened, compared with 12% for all bird species: clearly, all is not well with the World's seabirds. Read the first page
