Dawson's Avian Kingdom: Selected Writings by William Leon Dawson

by William Leon Dawson, Ann Neher (Editor)

The original Birds of California four-volume set, in good condition, sells for at least $2,000 if you can find one. This is the first new adaptation of that work in recent years with only the most abundant and frequently seen birds described. The utterly charming and literate Dawson descriptions were backed up by his astounding knowledge of the lives and habits of California birds.
