The Nutcracker and its cousins, the Eastern and American Nutcrackers. Marcel RUELLE

This book is the penultimate one published by Marcel RUELLE.

I have previously had the opportunity to review, in various journals, the earlier monographs by this renowned author, which constitute veritable databases that are particularly useful to novice or experienced breeders, passionate enthusiasts, or even ornithologists accustomed to field observations. These monographs have now become a standard reference for enthusiasts of the Carduelinae family. All topics relating to a species and its subspecies are dealt with with scientific precision in Marcel RUELLE’s books.

I have long made a habit of consulting them whenever I am looking for further information on goldfinches, bullfinches, siskins, greenfinches or even bramblings.

Thanks to this monograph, you will learn everything there is to know about this unassuming bird, a regular visitor to our parks and forests. Its behaviour, subspecies, diet, breeding and rearing… will hold no more secrets for you.

The collection therefore continues to grow, and this monograph devoted to gros-becs is yet another unquestionable success. I am in awe when I think of all the hours the author has spent researching everything that has ever been written about this majestic finch, all those hours spent selecting documents of interest, and finally all those hours devoted to typing up and laying out this work, which is a must-have for any library specialising in the Carduelinae.

And the collection will continue to grow, as two books on canaries and finches are currently in preparation!
