SEABIRDS:  An Identification Guide by Peter Harrison.  448pgs, paperback and
hardbound editions.

This is the BEST gull/seabird guide for the library and in the field for
North America and the world.  *Period.*  Full  page plates of all the gulls
of the world.  I wouldn't do a pelagic trip without this one.
