Highly recommended for field professionals June 5, 2006

Now in an updated second edition, Waterfowl Ecology And Management is an exhaustive, scientific minded guide written especially for waterfowl biologists and those charged with the upkeep of waterfowl habitats. Chapters discuss in-depth the life cycle of various waterfowl species, common diseases affecting the species and how to prevent or control them, the habitation they need, legal policy and history concerning waterfowl conservation, and much more. The extensive detail of this 500+ page hardcover guide is ideal for specialists. A top-quality reference, illustrated with black-and-white diagrams and photographs, and featuring a lengthy index for easy reference. Highly recommended for field professionals.
