birds of lake pond and marsh

Very Good Water and Wetland Birds of Eastern North America. Very Good used paperback. Previous owner's blind stamp on title page. Emphasizing ecological niches, John Eastman describes 41 common water and wetland birds-from diving ducks to wood warblers-and the plants and animals associated with their native surroundings. Species entries proceed by season, explaining in nontechnical language how each bird nests, mates, and rears its brood in spring; how it feeds in summer; whether, how, and where it migrates up fall; and how it survives in winter. Evolutionary adaptations, name origins, nature lore, and detailed illustrations accompany species accounts, providing useful context for each of these North American birds.
