Expert Review:
10,000 Birds: Gulls of the Americas
May 28, 2007
“The Peterson Reference Guide to Gulls of the Americas is a remarkable work. This weighty tome could hardly be mistaken for a casual field guide. Instead, with over 500 pages and 1,160 photographs exploring the 36 gull species and 14 likely hybrids that appear in North or South America, this book may be nothing less than the authoritative text on its subject matter.”

With 1,160 carefully chosen color photographs, this new reference guide, written by two of North America’s top gull experts, is the definitive new work on gulls of the Americas.
