The bestselling natural history of birds, lavishly illustrated with 600 colorphotos, is now available for the first time in flexi binding.
With short, stubby legs, long narrow wings, and large throat pouches, North American pelicans are unique and easily recognizable birds. Found throughout the northwest, pelicans can often be seen diving towards the water or paddling around looking for fish in large groups. Endangered over the past several decades, pelicans are beginning to thrive once more thanks to nesting refuges and protection from hunting.

This bulletin is a continuation of the work on the life histories of North American birds begun in Bulletin 107 and continued by Bulletin 113. The same general plan has been followed and the same sources of information have been utilized. This bulletin covers the Orders Turbinares and Steganopodes, Petrels, Pelicans, and their allies.
The Atlas of Wintering North American Birds represents the effects of thousands of people who have participated in the Christmas Bird Counts, an annual event sponsored since 1900 by the National Audubon Society. Unlike a conventional field guide, the Atlas doesn't show what birds look like, but rather tells where to find them in the winter months. Terry Root has used the data from the 1963-72 counts to provide the first large-scale biogeographical account of birds wintering in North America. Using sophisticated computer techniques, Root has translated the data into both traditional contour maps and innovative new maps that stimulate three dimensions. The maps show at a glance that, for example, the Baltimore Oriole winters primarily along the eastern seaboard, with the densest populations in Florida between Tallahassee and Gainesville and in North Carolina from Rocky Mount to the Croatan National Forest.

Florida's unique habitats are described and illustrated with color photographs. Each species account notes the habitats, distinguishing marks, behavior, food, and breeding habits.

Wide in scope and comprehensive in coverage, this handbook also covers exotic species, endangered species, conservation, bird study, attracting and feeding birds, and caring for injured birds."
The pelecaniformes are seabirds, found all over the world in marine and freshwater environments, encompassing six families and sixty species. They illuminate a variety of extremely important areas of seabird biology, especially ecology, behaviour and conservation. Bryan Nelson has researched these birds for forty years and his work is complemented by beautiful pictures, specially commissioned for the book from renowned ornithology illustrators.
