The first comprehensive coverage of a subject that has fascinated
natural historians for centuries. Avian vagrancy is a phenomenon
that has fascinated natural historians for centuries. From
Victorian collectors willing to spend fortunes on a rare specimen,
to today's high-octane bird-chasing 'twitchers', the enigma of
vagrancy has become a source of obsession for countless birders
worldwide. Vagrancy in Birds explores both pattern and process in
avian vagrancy, drawing on recent research to answer a suite of
fundamental questions concerning the occurrence of rare birds. For
each avian family, the book provides an in-depth analysis of recent
and historical vagrancy patterns, representing the first
comprehensive assessment of vagrancy at a global scale. The
accounts are accompanied by hundreds of previously unpublished
images featuring many of the most exceptional vagrants on record.
The book synthesises for the first time everything we know about
the subject, making the case for vagrancy as a biological
phenomenon with far-reaching implications for avian ecology and
evolution.
