About this book

Language: German with scientific nomenclature

Whether attractively coloured, interestingly shaped, or completely inconspicuous: bird feathers are one of nature's most fascinating inventions. But how can a feather be assigned to a bird? It's very simple with the help of this handbook. In over 60 years, Hans-Heiner Bergmann has created a feather collection that includes more than 4,000 examples from over 430 Palaearctic species. In this book, the feathers of over 130 songbird species in Central Europe are presented in great detail and in a systematic manner. The plate pages show all the important plumage components, which have been put together to scale and provided with size information. The accompanying text section contains a comprehensive description and illustrations of the bird and the spread wing as a whole. This sets this book apart not only from its previous editions but also from most other feather books currently on the market.

The second edition was published with the title Die Federn der Vögel Mitteleuropas: Ein Handbuch zur Bestimmung der Wichtigsten Arten.

Summary in German:
Ob reizvoll gefärbt, interessant geformt oder völlig unscheinbar: Vogelfedern sind eine der faszinierendsten Erfindungen der Natur! Doch wie lässt sich eine Feder einem Vogel zuordnen? Ganz einfach: mithilfe dieses Handbuchs! In gut 60 Jahren hat Hans-Heiner Bergmann eine Federsammlung geschaffen, die mehr als 4.000 Belege von über 430 paläarktischen Arten umfasst. In diesem Buch werden die Federn von über 130 Singvogelarten Mitteleuropas in großer Vollständigkeit systematisch und detailgenau vorgestellt. Die Tafelseiten zeigen alle wichtigen Gefiederbestandteile, die maßstabgerecht zusammengefügt und mit Größenangaben versehen wurden. Der dazugehörige Textteil beinhaltet eine umfassende Beschreibung sowie Abbildungen des Vogels und des ausgebreiteten Flügels als Ganzes. Damit unterscheidet sich dieses Buch nicht nur von seinen Vorauflagen, sondern auch von den meisten anderen, derzeit am Markt befindlichen Federbüchern.
