“The Wading Birds of North America (North of Mexico)” with text by Allan W. Eckert and paintings/drawing by Karl E. Karalus is a definitive work on the wading birds. “Not only are Karalus’ paintings and sketches (many of the latter done right in the field) beautiful to behold, they are perfectly accurate in all aspects of shape, coloration, pattern, and physical structure. Equally impressive is Eckert’s clear, readable text – full scientifically accurate description of the appearance, habits, and habitats of each of the wading bird species and subspecies.”
