Diving Birds of North America - Hardcover
From Library Journal:
The three bird families covered in this comprehensive monographloons, grebes, and auksshare many common features, but their taxonomic relationships remain in doubt. They are the most aquatic of North America birds, coming ashore, if at all, only to nest. Predominately fish eaters, all have anatomical adaptations for swimming that impede walking and make them weak fliers; diving, not flight, is their usual response to danger. Derived from a thorough review of the literature, the book is divided into two sections: comparative biology and species accounts. Scholarly and quite technical, yet accessible to serious amateur birders, this study is recommended to academic and larger public libraries. (Illustrations not seen.) Paul B. Cors, Univ. of Wyoming Lib., Laramie
