Cloth. Condition: Good to Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: G to VG Dust Jacket; Noel W. Cusa Illustrations. (illustrator). First Hardcover Edition. 192 pages. " The strange lives of the storm petrels, smallest and most fascinating of sea birds, are being slowly unravelled on remote coasts and islands round the world. This is the first book to look at all 21 species. Ronald M. Lockley was himself the first to ring 'Mother Carey's Chickens' and has since studied petrels in both hemispheres. He writes with warth and fluency of the tiny British (or European) petrel and its astonishing migration thousands of miles across the equator to South African seas. Leach's Petrel and other fork-tails, Wilson's Petrel - the hardiest small bird in the world, actually burrowing into the snow blocking its Antarctic nesting crevice - and the tropical petrels, are all here. Ronald Lockley combines a mass of information with stories of his own experiences while watching petrels in many places: his intense personal involvement with these birds gives him a unique sharpness of observation. This book is for everyone who enjoys a good read about birds as well as for those of us particular intrigued by this beautiful, far ranging group." ** Book Weight = 650 Grams; >>> EX-LIBRARY Copy.
