Pelagic birds are among the most fascinating and also the least known of seabirds. Identifying them is often a challenge because many species look alike and observing them in the open ocean is very difficult.
This innovative guide draws on decades of at-sea observations and the most recent taxonomic data. It offers detailed comparisons between similar species and tips for observing and identifying pelagic birds. The text describes more than 270 species, their flight, plumage variations related to age and molt, and their distribution (breeding area and area of occurrence at sea).
Over 2,200 carefully curated photos bring the ocean and its remarkable winged nomads to life.
