About this title

Synopsis

Pp. xxxv, 588; 8 maps partially colored, numerous black-and-white photos and figures. Publisher’s original brown cloth over beige boards, lettered in gilt on the spine, color pictorial dust jacket, 4to. Wood ducks were almost hunted to extinction during the turn of the 20th century but they survived. This important book, carefully written, edited, and designed to be of interest to anyone intrigued with waterfowl generally or wood ducks specifically, is the product of nearly a half century of devoted study by Dr. Bellrose and nearly a decade of manuscript preparation.
