These large birds in shades of gray, black and white can be hard to differentiate – particularly from a moving boat, but are, yet least known of all the world’s birds, still among the most beautiful. This book offers tips on how to identify and observe them at sea, with detailed information to every species. Describes flight, plumage, distribution, habitats, taxonomy and conservation. The species accounts are arranged into groups helpful for field identification, and an overview of unique identification challenges is provided for each group.
