[PU: Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, . First Edition.], Jacket, Octavo, white cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, 406 pp. Fine in a Near-Fine, mylar protected dust jacket. From dust jacket: Woodpeckers are unique within the bird world. Their form and structure, reproduction and behavior set them apart from all others, and their ability not only to dig insects and their grubs out of holes ut to excavate their own nest holes in trees gives them a distinct advantage over other birds. Woodpeckers inhabit most parts of the world, except for the Australiasian region, the Antarctic, and the treeless parts of the Arctic. They are found in woodland and forest and also in desert areas, grasslands, and even on rocky mountain slopes. Woodpeckers are best known for their drumming (though not all species drum) and for their often striking colors. Their plumages show contrasting black and white, green, brilliant yellow, bright red and rich brown, as well as an amazing variety of patterns. In this book, all 214 species of woodpeckers, including the little-known and enigmatic tiny piculets, mainly of South America, are descried and illustrated, and information is given on their distributions, habitats, and habits. Many of the subspecies depicted by Dave Nurney in his 64 magnificent color plates have never before been illustrated. Ornithology, Birding, Birds, Woodpeckers, Natural History, Conservation. aslic<
