About This Book

The work begins with practical instruction on camera equipment, lenses, shutters, tripods, plates, blinds, and field methods, then moves into season-by-season, species-by-species photographic studies that document nesting, feeding, broods, and behavior. Detailed case studies range from small songbirds to herons, swallows, terns, seabird colonies, and pelicans, illustrating habitats, nest sites, and life stages. Photographs and narratives combine technical guidance for photographers with natural-history observation and brief reflection on the scientific value and aesthetic appeal of recording birds in their native environments.
