Territory in Bird Life
Henry Eliot Howard and Henrik Grönvold
Why does a songbird claim a patch of hedge and defend it fiercely each spring? Eliot Howard's landmark study argues that territory is the hidden key to bird behavior, courtship, and survival. Illustrated by Lodge and Gronvold, it changed how ornithologists see the breeding season. A quietly revolutionary look at the map every bird carries in its head.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
