Peterson Reference Guides: Gulls of the Americas (Peterson Reference Guides)
November 21, 2008
Covering the thirty-six species of gulls that occur in North and South America, this unparalleled resource includes detailed identification information for the many plumages gulls display as they mature. More than just a field guide, this large and ambitious volume is the definitive reference work on gulls of the Americas. A group of birds that is popular among birdwatchers, gulls can be frustrating to identify, as they can take up to four years to mature, with different plumages each year. With 1,160 photographs illustrating these plumages, and descriptions by two of North Americas top gull experts, this new reference guide is the authoritative word on gulls.
Customer Review: Simply the best gull guide.
This is a heavy book, so it will not be practical to carry as a field guide. Other than that, this is by far the most up to date, best researched guide to Gulls that you will find today.
I am an avid bird watcher and hopeless collector of bird guides, and this one sets the bar for a family specific guide. Outstanding photos and precise text make this guide a must have for any serious watcher of Gulls.
Customer Review: The best book on gulls EVER!
This is the best book on gulls ever! There are at least ten full color, extremely detailed photos for each species. On the captions for the photo it names the bird and gives what state of its life it is at, it describes the photo of the bird, and it gives the location, and date of the photo and the photographers name. On some photos there is a gull in the background and so that adds a little test to the book.
The species accounts are exquisite, and the range maps are amazingly detailed.
I recommend this book to every birder! Especially those of you who wish to go looking for rarities.
This book is a must for beginner birders and experts too! Buy from here…
