The Flight of the Red Knot
de Brian Harrington(Ed. W. W. Norton Company) Isbn : 0393038610
25.98 €
Many shorebirds are noted for their extraordinary migrations. The red knot, though it may not be familiar to many birders since it regularly stops at only a few coastal sites in the United States during its long flights, is a typical example. Derived from a segment of the PBS series Nova and based on original research done by Harrington (Manomet Observatory), this book uses the knot as a paradigm for examining broader topics of migration, behavior, ecology, and especially conservation. Simply but not condescendingly written and generously illustrated with fine color photos, this is a good choice for popular (including young adult) science collections.?Paul B.
