Summary

"Deveaux is a meditation on the life of a South Carolina sea bird rookery known as Deveaux Bank at the mouth of the North Edisto River. The author and photographer, Dana Beach, has visited Deveaux regularly for twenty-five years. In his book, Beach chronicles the annual cycle of reproduction and renewal on this ephemeral sand bar, and the work of the scientists and conservationists who labor to understand and protect it."--Front flap of jacket
