Developed by a team of field and museum ornithologists, this publication is the first comprehensive presentation of a large number of different measurements that can be taken on birds since the 1931 treatise of Baldwin, Oberholser and Worley, published in the Scientific Publications of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. With the aid of detailed illustrations this handy volume offers concise instructions and recommendations on how to measure birds. Problems with particular measurement techniques are discussed, as are accuracy, reliability, and comparability of measurements, the numbering of flight feathers, skull ossification, determining weight, and appropriate measuring tools. A comprehensive glossary and list of references round off this useful book. Printed on durable water-resistant paper and with an innovative binding, this manual has been explicitly designed for use in the field and for taxidermy. An absolute must for bird ringers, museum curators, taxidermists and everyone concerned with morphometry.
