Gulls of North America enough slant on the topic that will make it a good addition to the libraries of inexperienced gull-watch- ers and larophiles alike. At a glance, the format is typical for these kinds of - raphy (with good photos that have arrows pointing out various features), a glossary, and species treat- ments organized into the usual sections: Hooded Species, Pelagic Species, and Vagrants. Twenty-seven species are covered. manner in which he treats gull ages. While generously acknowledging the terminology and precise utility of winter, second-winter, and adult. For the purposes of his intended readership, he says these terms should even a supposed simple system does not cover all the variations in gull moults. to me is attractive about this book—is that it is, in large part, a personal account of his observations and House Pond, a small conservation area in Maryland, where he studied gulls before work, at lunchtime, and after work for more than 20 years. In an appendix he includes number counts of all the gulls he tallied there, but he also conveys his excitement at the rare and unusual gulls that appeared. in these he captures the excitement of those observers.

Dewey Soper in The Auk (Volume 63, 1946): This is a delightful and detailed account of of the birdlife of the island and incorporates both Soper’s personal observations and ob- servations from the local Inuit population. It provides insights into the birds and natural history of a region seldom visited by birders or researchers. (p. 282) 2) Of Niko Tinbergen’s The Herring Gull’s World (Basic Books, 1960): This delightfully written book covers the so- interactions and social behaviors, many rendered in black-and-white drawings. This book is not Tinbergen’s enthusiasm for gulls comes through in the text and the animated descriptions of their behavior. (p. 283) Larus brachy- rhynchus). These names are helpful in understand- the most glaring omission is the lack of a species ac- Larus canus).
