"Shorebirds, often seen at a distance, can be difficult to distinguish from one another. In the Facts On File Photographic Guide to the Shorebirds of the World, David Rosair's detailed field descriptions, of jizz, size, plumage, habitats, behavior, calls, races, movements and range, provide all the clues you need for identification of the world's 212 currently recognized species of wader." "David Cottridge has assembled a collection of more than 700 stunning color photographs, many of which are published for the first time here, by some of the world's leading bird photographers, showing such all-important clues for identification as differences in plumage: between breeding and non-breeding, adult and juvenile." "As a further aid to identification, the species are grouped to make comparisons between similar species even clearer - this is particularly important where ranges overlap or in distinguishing rare vagrants from more common locals."--Jacket.
