Product Description
Review
This sumptuous volume is the bargain bird book of the year, if not the decade. . . . Within its 392 pages is not only a complete and highly detailed account of the biology of the 19 storks, single shoebill, 23 ibises and six spoonbills, but also the most magnificent collection of paintings of these 49 species. -- "Country Life
Never before has so much information on any of these three magnificent and fascinating bird groups been offered between two covers. . . . Alan Harris and David Quinn--two of the most talented bird illustrators on the international scene--have conspired to produce 49 full-color plates of exceptional beauty. . . . The authors and artists are to be congratulated on their remarkable achievement. This valuable reference work should stimulate more interest in the world's storks, ibises, and spoonbills, and hopefully it will contribute to preserving these exquisite birds for generations to come. -- "Bird Book Review
