Ospreys: A Natural and Unnatural History

Very good hardcover in dust jacket. Top edge of textblock dust freckled. DJ has a few small creases and scratches; sun-faded spine. B&W photographs. The definitive monograph on the species.

Ospreys: A Natural and Unnatural History is a clear and entertaining look at the natural history and status of a bird that has become a major symbol of international bird conservation, and special attention is devoted to the successful restoration of threatened osprey populations in Scotland and New England.

With a foreword by Roger Tory Peterson, the book will appeal to ornithologists and conservationists alike. 50 photos; 17 line drawings by Margaret LaFarge.
