wader photos

["Bob Forsyth" <>]

G'day all,

I would like to recommend Dennis Paulson's "Shorebirds of the Pacific Northwest" to Australian Shorebird/Wader watchers.

It was published by University of Washington Press 1993 and republished with corrections 1998

It is a comprehensive easy to read 406 page book that includes 22 pages of citations.

 

Each species are usually described by

- Distribution

- Northwest status

- Habitat and behaviour

- Structure

- Plumage

- Identification

- In Flight

- Voice

- Subspecies

- References

 

Andrew Isles http://www.andrewisles.com lists it at A$57.00

 

FYI other Wader books are listed in the Bibliography section of Dick & Jean Hofmann's "The Shorebird Watcher" http://pw1.netcom.com/~djhoff/shorebrd.html

 

I am sure Dennis Paulson would give full justice to any quality photos of our shorebirds provided to him. His new book would become a further necessary reference for us southern hemisphere birdos.

 

Regards
Bob Forsyth, Mount Isa, NW Qld.
