The New Zealand bird views series highlights the common birds in New Zealand - the birds we view every day but tend to take for granted because they are always there. This volume presents over 170 previously unpublished photographs of the ducks commonly seen in New Zealand. The book shows birds swimming, feeding, nesting and raising their young. The text provides some background detail and the photos are used to illustrate the birds' lives as much as possible. Look for other titles in the series.
