About this Item

"Birds of Tropical America - A Watcher's Introduction to Behavior, Breeding and Diversity" by Steven Hilty was issued by Chapters Publishing in 1994, in trade paperback format, as part of "The Curious Naturalist" Series. The book has handsome black-and-white line illustrations by Mimi Hoppe Wolf. This copy is a clean, serviceable X- LIBRARY book. From the 1994 back cover blurb : "Why are tropical birds like parrots and quetzels so much more colorful than any feathered resident of temperate lands? How can a vulture soaring thousands of feet above the canopy spot a dead rodent no bigger than a mouse on the rainforest floor? What permits sparrow-sized antbirds to not only survive but to thrive among relentless hordes of army ants that devour every other living thing in their path? Steven Hilty has led birding tours to the American Tropics for the past nineteen years. By providing answers to the hundreds of questions asked by participants of these expeditions, Hilty has produced a natural history of the bird life of the New World Tropics that is at once practical, accurate, and as endlessly fascinating as the species whose lives it reveals." *************************************************** THIS IS A CLEAN X - LIBRARY VOLUME. *************************************************** SERIES : The Curious Naturalist / TITLE : Birds of Tropical America - A Watcher's Introduction to Behavior, Breeding and Diversity / AUTHOR : Steven Hilty / ILLUSTRATOR : Mimi Hoppe Wolf / IMPRINT : Chapters Publishing Ltd. / PLACE : Shelburne, Vermont / DATE : (1994) / EDITION : First Edition, Paperback Format / STATUS : OP (Chapters Publishing Ltd is no longer in business) / PHYSICAL DETAILS : Trade paperback; contains a few black-and-white line illustrations; has a Bibliography and an Index; 304 pages; 6" x 9" ; color pictorial wraps, glued.
