Product Description
Product Description
The Whooper Swan has the most extensive range of all the world's seven swan species, and to people in many nations it is the archetypical swan species. The species is also strongly migratory, and the annual appearances of bulging" flocks of these beautiful white birds herald seasonal change and have inspired numerus myths and tales. Taking an in-depth look at the Whooper Swan, this book investigates its biology, migratory habits, courtship and breeding behaviour and its role in the folklore and legend of the many countries where it occurs."

30 Dec 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Although numerous books and articles have been written about the whooper swan, Cygnus cynus, this is the major source of information. Mark Brazil has included practically everything one would want to know about the species, from life history, behavior, population dynamics, migration, and habitat needs. As a world-wide species, the whooper swan is of interest to all ornithologists, and this book is a must have title.
