In 1976 Stackpole Books released a revised, expanded and updated edition of the classic book Ducks, Geese and Swans of North America, first issued in 1942.  The new edition was authored by Frank C. Bellrose and was considered the most definitive text on this continent's ducks, geese and swans.  This 1980 edition has again been revised by Bellrose. In addition to a number of updated species accounts, the book's color plates of the various waterfowl species have been prepared with detailed accuracy by one of America's best and most popular wildlife artists, Robert W. Hines.
