The Atlantic Flyway

From dust jacket notes: "...The Atlantic Flyway discusses the entire flyway and the relationships between it and the other great interlocking corridors of migration. But it concentrates on the area along the Atlantic seaboard where American wildfowling began - where the art of decoy making evolved, where the modern duck gun was invented, where the finest hunting boats were designed and built, where the golden age of wildfowling occurred. This area may also be where the future of wildfowling is decided, for unrelenting urban growth and industrial sprawl constantly menace the wetlands. Species that survived the profligate market hunters of the past may succumb to the disappearance of feeding and resting areas along their ancient route....To add pictorial eloquence to Robert Elman's theme, The Atlantic Flyway contains more than 250 photographs, including 60 pages in full color. Both hunter and birdwatcher will find this book a remarkable achievement."
