Pigeons and Doves: A Guide to the Pigeons and Doves of the World
by David Gibbs, Eustace Barnes & John Cox
Pigeons and doves are a large family of birds occurring throughout the world, and this book incorporates recent information about their natural history and taxonomy. It is the first book to be dedicated to the field identification of these birds, and the first to be fully illustrated in color. The authoritative text draws on extensive museum and field reserach, as well as on recently-published and unpublished sources, and all currently accepted taxa are described. The comprehensive text is accompanied by 76 exquisite color plates that capture the essence of these varied birds and illustrate all species and subspecies.
