From rear cover notes: "A thorough and fascinating study of the herring gull. The book, considered a classic in its field, reads like a best seller. Simple, imaginative, and refreshing drawings help to explain what the author is describing. The author has done a skillful job; anyone even mildly curious about the life of social animals should curl up with this book, which is science at its best." -John L. George, Atlantic Naturalist -- Illustrated with 51 photographs taken by the author, 58 drawings and diagrams.
