DESCRIPTION
xxxii, 218 pp.; drawings, colour illustrations, foreword by S. Dillon Ripley, cloth in d/w, appendix, biblio, index, The International Council For Bird Preservation, London, 1970. The first book to deal specially with the birds of the Lebanon and Jordan area. The author was the first writer to record the fantastic migration of eagles and other birds of prey passing south in thousands down the Lebanon coastline in autumn. This amazing migration of the raptorial birds is even more impressive than the migration which passes over the Bosphorous and which has been described in scientific journals.
