This book is so full of info & beautiful pictures, that it literally weighs 8lbs! If you're a bird lover, then this book is for you!

I read only about 75 of the more than 700 pages in this stunning volume, especially those about cormorants, gulls, and warblers. There is a lot of information between the covers of this book, and the reader who learns it all will be very knowledgeable about birds.
