Covers all 20 North American species and describes all aspects of wading bird ecology and behaviour.
"[...] The binding and pages are very high quality, but this volume is not quite a true coffee-table book. It is, however, an adequate introduction for those not very familiar with these wonderful birds. Moreover, if this is your favorite group of birds, then you cannot really go wrong with it. But for everyone else it is probably not detailed and in depth enough to warrant a recommendation."
