They are one of the most challenging groups of birds to identify because of variation in plumage according to the age of a given bird and conditions for identifying them. This book-the first complete guide to the skuas of the world-was designed to enable species identification and correct aging of these birds.SkuasIdentificationJaegers (Birds)IdentificationElectronic books.SkuasJaegers (Birds)598.338Olsen Klaus Malling1955-1029349Larsson Hans1976-1029350MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462195703321Skuas and jaegers2445692UNINA
