Paperbound. Condition: Very Good. First Edition, so stated. Description: Includes a few black and white photo illustrations. ''Bird'' is the universal call hawkwatchers use to let others know that a hawk is in the sky. Upon hearing it, binoculars are elevated, and the race is on to locate the migrating hawk before it disappears.

Twenty-two essays help to reveal the lure of hawkwatching. BINDING/CONDITION: paperbound; Very Good condition. 8vo (9 inches tall). 184 pages.…
