Migration of Birds (1979)
Frederick Charles Lincoln and others
How do you follow a warbler across a continent? This expanded edition of Lincoln's classic adds the tools of modern study: banding, radio tracking, radar, and the patient work of preserved specimens and listening in the dark. A fuller history and science of one of nature's greatest journeys. Discover how researchers finally traced the routes birds have flown for ages.
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.
