Libro
From the library of renowned ornithologist Gordon Maclean, with his ownership inscription to the half-title. 8vo; original blue cloth, lettered in black on spine; pictorial dustwrapper; endpaper map; pp. (x) + 154; colour plates. Some tape marks to dustwrapper flaps and endpapers; a little foxing. Good condition. "The author . has made a detailed four-year study of every aspect of Black Eagle life, based on his own observations and wide experience gained in a lifetime's study of bird-of-prey behaviour. Many interesting discoveries are recorded. We learn of the Black Eagle's intelligence and 'awareness-wisdom' in matters of deep concern to themselves, including their relationships with men; of their educational methods and hunting techniques, their homecraft and weather-forecasting and use of a herbal remedy. We are given vivid action portraits of the Black Eagle in flight and courtship play and the intimate details of family life. We are shown the by-ways of natural history observation by a very experienced natural historian.".
