Twenty scientists contributed a wealth of fascinating knowledge gathered through years of study and observation together with the finest nature photographers and artists, so that here you'll meet that champion of migrants, the Arctic tern, whose annual round trip exceeds 22,000 miles, you also come face-to-face with powerful eagles, mighty condors and the rare, beautiful American flamingo. You also get to watch parent grebes dive with their young tucked under their folded wings and get to chuckle when the chicks pop up to the surface like downy-corks. You learn that auks, like penguins, actually 'fly' underwater, and that a pelican's pouch holds three and a half gallons of water, and much, much more that shows this world of water, prey and game birds of North America. Again, the book is generously illustrated, and world-renowned ornithologist Alexander Wetmore continued as chief author and consultant for this book.)
