Oceanic birds are among the most remarkable but least known of all birds living at sea far
from the sight of most people. They offer unusual identification challenges--many species look
similar and it can be difficult to get good views of fast-flying birds from a moving boat. The
first field guide to the world's oceanic birds in more than two decades this exciting and
authoritative book draws on decades of firsthand experience on the open seas. It features clear
text filled with original insights and new information and more than 2 200 carefully chosen
color images that bring the ocean and its remarkable winged inhabitants to life. Never before
have oceanic birds been presented in such an accessible and comprehensive way.
