Travels and Traditions of Waterfowl 



by H. Albert Hochbaum 



With the combined talents of naturalist, writer, and artist, 

 H. Albert Hochbaum captures the varying moods of earth 

 and sky and spirit of flight. For many years as director 

 of the Delta Waterfowl Research Station in Manitoba, Can- 

 ada, he has observed the ways of the waterfowl. In this book 

 he portrays and discusses the flights and habits of the 

 birds he has watched in that vast marsh country — the wild 

 ducks, geese, and swans of North America. 



"The entire work is in lay language with a delightful 

 blend of the experiences of the naturalist and hunter with 

 those of the scientist." Science,
