Herons and their close relatives, the egrets and bitterns, comprise
sixty species in total and are found all over the world except in
polar regions, and are a strikingly beautiful part of the wetlands
they inhabit. They are particularly abundant and popular in South
West USA, especially Florida. Herons are a diverse group, easily
recognised by their long legs, necks and bills. Many species are
notable for their sociality as they feed, roost, and nest together
in single or mixed species assemblages. The authors have extensive
experience of research and observation of these birds and this book
provides an up to date comprehensive review of the herons of the
world. Covering their biology, distribution, description,
systematics, breeding, feeding, and conservation, James Hancock and
James Kushlan have distilled their lifetimes' research on the heron
into one volume. This volume is complemented by beautiful colour
paintings especially painted for the book, colour photographs, and
distribution maps.
