National Geographic Bird colouration by Geoffrey E Hill

The first non-academic work on colouration and plumage and their key role in avian life. More than 200 gorgeous photographs highlight the explanations of the essentials: what colour is, ornithologically speaking; how it is produced and measured; how birds use colour to attract mates and deter competitors; how birds perceive colour; and how colouration varies across species by sex, season, and age.
Geoffrey E. Hill is an ornithologist and professor of biology at Auburn University, seeker of the Ivorybilled Woodpecker, and author of two books.
