I think very well of "The Sandhill Cranes" (I like the monographs with lots of historical data written by true devotees) but am not as familiar with the more recent volume. Joel Ryan,

I was interested in your reference to the Walkinshaw book, having just seen an article of his before coming across your page. You mention his book on "the species", which makes it sound like you're referring to his book on sandhills, which is much older than his Cranes of the World, and that's the only thing that has me wondering. A lot was learned in the quarter century between the two books, making me think you might have meant the later book. I'd love to hear which one you had thought was particularly good. I might try to order one, but it's going to be sight-unseen, since none of the used book sellers have scanned any page-views. If you have any advice, thanks in advance.

I had just done a different search that led me to a journal article by Walkinshaw, and your reference has me looking for his book. Are you talking about "The Sandhill Cranes" (1949) or "Cranes of the World" (1973)? Or another book that may not be listed on Amazon? Thanks. Joel,
