Waterfowl of the World

Waterfowl of the World may be the most important bird publication of the year considering it will be a valued reference for decades.
Among the most impressive waterfowl are the Falcated Duck (above) and Red-breasted Goose (below). These images showcase these spectacular birds and illustrate the high-quality of photos taken by Gary Kramer for his new book, Waterfowl of the World.

As a tribute to fall waterfowl migration, we wanted to remind you about the remarkable new publication that provides remarkable photographs and up to the minute information about all 167 species of ducks, geese, and swans. Waterfowl of the World may be the most monumental book of the year in the realm of birds, a remarkable publication that will stand out for decades into the future. Driven by the unsurpassed waterfowl photography of Gary Kramer, and enhanced with range maps and excellent biology and conservation descriptions written by Kramer and John Gregory Mensik, everyone interested in birds should have this book as a centerpiece for their library.

The quality of this new publication is most impressive, starting with the beauty of the reproduction of the color photographs used, and including the quality of the paper, printing, binding, cover, and even the large size of the book. Each species account is illustrated with an average of 7 color photos, usually showing a pair of the species, followed by images of the species swimming, standing, in flight, in flocks, and often with a brood – all taken in the wild, often in remote settings, in a total of 40 countries on 6 continents. The remarkable variety of this family of birds is exciting, especially when you consider such memorable waterfowl as Red-breasted Geese, Falcated Ducks, Black Swans, King Eiders, Harlequin Ducks, Smew, Baikal Teal, Mandarin Ducks, and 159 more species!

The biology section is particularly interesting, especially the information about each species’ nesting biology. Similarly, the conservation section regarding each species is notably insightful. Featuring 540 pages with 1,299 photographs, each page turned reveals more dramatic color photos and new information about ducks, geese, or swans – all the Waterfowl of the World!
