Birding with a Purpose: Of Raptors, Gabboons, and Other Creatures

Very good used hardcover in very good dust jacket.  Bottom spine bumped and dust jacket spine has sun fading.

First Edition. Signed by author with inscription to noted ornithologist Buzz Hull. 

This is one of those rare books which hugely entertain while imparting a great deal of scientific information for the wildlife biologist, ornithologist, and birding and banding enthusiast.  It is also a fine tale, well told, of the wild and rowdy side of wildlife work few people know.  Fran Hamerstrom's adventures are hilarious, unique, and even dangerous at times; it is an entertaining account of trapping and banding raptors.
