Magnificent Voyagers: Waterfowl Of North America (Classics Edition)
by: Andrews, Owen
Only 20 pages of informative & detailed text covering migration, the
year's young, the skies of autumn, and wintering havens. The rest is brillant
& magnificent full-page color photos of waterfowl. An absolute must
for the waterfowl lover or the wildlife photographer. Photographs of startling
precision bring us closer to the wild swans, geese, and ducks of North
America. Necks extended, wings beating strongly, three trumpeter swans
sail down a wintry Wyoming valley. A Canada goose, neck crooked, legs
held out in front, comes in for a landing. Unaware of the camera, a wood
duck drake nuzzles his mate. Arranged seasonally, it chronicles the yearly
rhythms of these sociable birds. Images of spring courtship, from hooded
mergansers briskly raising their white crowns to pintail drakes crowding
a hen in aerial chase, lead to summer scenes, as a Pacific brant glares
vigilantly from her nest and baby wood ducks peer from a tree cavity before
tumbling out. Autumn and winter bring flocks southward; snow geese rise
against barred clouds in Manitoba; hunters, dogs, and decoys wait a sunrise
on the Chesapeake Bay." 100 full-color photogrpahic illustrations
with many full and double-page. Also contains a full-page North America
map of North American Waterfowl Migration-Important Breeding Areas, Important
Wintering Areas, and Fall Migration Corridors. The book has a padded,
