The proceedings of a symposium held at Raleigh, North Carolina, 

 in October 1981, this book presents the keynote address of F. Eugene 

 Hester, Deputy Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a 

 bibliography of publications on the Seaside Sparrow, and 16 major 

 papers on the species. Authors include Arthur W. Cooper, Oliver L. 

 Austin, Jr., Herbert W. Kale, II, William Post, Harold W. Werner, 

 Glen E. Woolfenden, Mary Victoria McDonald, Jon S. Greenlaw, 

 Michael F. Delany, James A. Mosher, Thomas L. Merriam, James A. 

 Kushlan, Oron L. Bass, Jr., Dale L. Taylor, Thomas A. Webber, and 

 George F. Gee. A full-color frontispiece by John Henry Dick illustrates 

 the nine races of the Seaside Sparrow, and a recording prepared by J. 

 W. Hardy supplements two papers on vocalizations. 



"The Seaside Sparrow, with its extensive but exceedingly narrow 

 breeding range in the coastal salt marshes, is a fascinating species. All 

 the authors emphasize that the salt marsh habitat is at peril. . . . The 

 collection is well worth reading." — George A. Hall, Wilson Bulletin.
