From the Book Cover

This is a "how to" book written by a man who has had many years of experience in banding hundreds of species of birds in many different places from the United States to Thailand. He has used many different kinds of traps, adapted to the habits and habitats of the various species of birds. He describes in detail how to make the traps and how to handle the birds in the most humane way possible.
Dr. McClure, well-known conservationist, studies birds, not only for the knowledge that handling and banding birds contributes to ornithology, but also for what this work yields in information about birds as carriers of arthropod-vectors of disease.
