Excerpt from The Parasitic WeaverbirdsFor many years I hesitated to write the present portion of the survey because the available information was fragmentary, and there was little reason to expect that the accounts resulting from this ih formation would lend themselves to clarifying comment. Although new information has been exceedingly slow in coming into print and our present knowledge is still obviously fragmentary, now, after 35 years of patiently watching for such items in the literature, and of extensive correspondence with resident observers in the homelands of the birds involved, in addition to personal fieldwork in Africa, I ven ture to present the picture, incomplete to be sure, but sufficiently filled in to reveal in general outline the nature of brood parasitism in the weaverbirds.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
