The Hawaiian honeycreepers

by H. Douglas Pratt

"The book is in two parts, an overview of Hawaiian honeycreeper evolution and natural history followed by detailed accounts of all species including those known only from prehistoric remains. Nearly all historically known plumage variations are shown in seven stunning colour plates by the author, and the text is enlivened with numerous drawings and maps, as well as black and white photos by acclaimed photographer Jack Jeffrey."--BOOK JACKET.
