Top edge of textblock dust freckled, shelf worn. First printing, limited to 750 copies - this is number 140; signed by the author. Original ink drawings by Steve Hovel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work - the culmination of investigation spanning nearly 50 years - is about a bird ... a little green bird ... one so innocuous and timid that it has challenged the attention of some research ornithologists, but is virtually unknown to all but those who compile life lists or collect avian census data. The unpretentious Willow Flycatcher nonetheless is a remarkable creature, with a significant and unique niche in the avian environment. It is fleet of wing, reclusive, with a distinctive, unmelodious song that is its only claim to species' status. Sadly that species is the avian bellwether of a particular habitat diminishing all too quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work is about the life of a bird. As any monograph must, these pages detail the species' biology, its behavior and mannerisms, its ecological role and status. But more so than most scientific treatises, this book tracks as well the milieu and motivations of the researcher ... seeking new information and better understanding of the vagaries and dynamic aspects of the natural order ... through the movement, proclivities and adaptations of a very special little green bird.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rusty Rock Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53600079380787,"sku":"DQ5133U","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0888\/4515\/6659\/files\/little-green-bird-willow-flycatcher.jpg?v=1783359853","url":"https:\/\/buteobooks.com\/products\/little-green-bird-ecology-of-the-willow-flycatcher","provider":"Buteo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
