FROM a general banding history and discussion of ethics, this book proceeds to very specific treatment of field equipment; species-by-species bird handling techniques; proper placement and use of nets, decoys, and snares; and ectoparasite collection. McClure translates a lifetime's research into trap plans, including devices that didn't work, to save readers time and frustration. A very complete, easy-to-use guide from a birder who has banded hundreds of species around the world.

"Bird watchers with an interest in bird banding will need this book..." Donald S. Heintzelman, Ornithological Consultant
