Breeding along the northern Pacific Coast from British Columbia to Japan, this little known bird dwelt in relative obscurity until it became the focus of a conservation debate which has resulted in a new National Park in the Queen Charlotte Islands where half the world's population breeds. Tony Gaston has carried out the only detailed study of the birds, and his work has revealed their complex social behaviour, the song behaviour of the males and the species' response to the variety of predators which they face--from Peregrines to Deer Mice. The illustrations by Ian Jones, who also assisted with the research, capture the bird and its environment beautifully.
