Arthur Cleveland Bent set out to record every North American bird's life in full, and part one wades into the shore birds. Beginning with the red and northern phalaropes, he gathers habits, ranges, and nesting into the definitive account. The classic reference every birder still reaches for. Study the sandpipers and their kin in depth.

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.
